If I can't find the book I'm looking for at Barnes & Noble, I go to Amazon. Also Amazon can usually be cheapest!

The library or Amazon. I don't have that much time to read so I usually know what I'm looking for and those are the easiest places to find the books I want to read.

I mostly either buy my books from Barnes and Noble or on my Nook. Sometimes I may pick up books from a yard sale or something like that.

Most of the time my aunt gives me her books after she finishes reading them. I have also bought a lot of books online.

I get all my books from Barnes and Nobles via ebook or going to the store. I live in a very small rural town that has almost a non-existent library and I actually have to travel 1hr to get to B&N. The invention of the ebook has made getting books much easier for me.

I get most books from the library. Although, I've started building my own library at home. Not a literal room, just a collection of books. I home school, so I like to have the classics around for my children to read. Most of the time I have to force them to read, but hopefully they'll learn to love it. Goodwill, library sales, and thrift stores are excellent sources.

I look for books anywhere and everywhere :) :Yard sales, Goodwill, online book stores, the library, friends, retail outlets, grocery stores, clothing stores (in accessories), you name it. The greatest things ever were the book clubs, that offered 5 or 6 free books with an additional one for $.99 or more. I was sad when they went away. :(
