I was wondering if there is a store that sells English language books on demand, that is, you give them the ISBN#, they order it for you, and you go pick it up at their bookshop a week later.

If not, how do you go about buying English books there? It is quite important for me to be able to read while I am there.

Does Amazon or a similar company ship to HCMC?

You said you want 'English Language Books' - if you mean teaching books there is more than you will ever need in stores like Fahasa!

Fahasa has a number of stores in HCMC. Nguyen Hue street, Hai Ba trung and Le Loi. For recreational readng, the range isn't great but I think they can order in - just may take a while.

Not sure about having Amazon ship stuff - post is a little unreliable at times.

Also for recreational reading there's a second hand/exchange on Pham Ngu Lau that is VERY well stocked - if you don't mind a preloved book.

I'm an avid reader and have never had any trouble getting books here. In Hanoi there's a beautiful little bookshop on Yen The.
