Re: Where do you get your books ?
I enjoy buying second-hand books, unless, like you, I really really want to read a particular book or I am collecting a series I love. Book sales at libraries, second-hand stores, and yard-sales are typically where I pick up my books.
Though I am starting to enjoy e-books for academic and philosophical reads. I can highlight and take notes without damage to a book. Plus, it makes it super easy to access in the future, instead of having separate notebooks in a shelf or binder.

I also like to shop local antique book shops for a good read on the beach.

I do have Kindle Unlimited so I do read a lot of those offered books, but if something is not on Kindle Unlimited I will use Libby. Libby is an online app that you can connect to your library card and check out ebooks for free.
If it is not offered by Libby I'll head over to BetterWorldBooks or ThriftBooks to see if it is discounted. I use Amazon as a last resort for physical books because it is typically more expensive.
If I want to buy new I will go to Amazon as I feel it is a trusted source.
For a lot of my extreme horror novels that I can;t access on Amazon due to content issues, I will go directly to the author's website or Etsy and purchase from there.
