I really want to go to that fair, it sounds so amazing! I usually buy my books from Asda because they come cheaply, but if there is a specific book I want I'll order it from waterstones. I often check charity shops for books but will only but them if they condition is good. I wouldn't like to download books for I like to be able to hold them and keep them on my shelf.

A lot of my books are used, either from used book stores or from trading online. I've been buying books from GoHastings lately, even the used books are in pretty decent condition. If I'm eager to read the book, I'll buy it new from Amazon or Barnes and Nobles

I get a lot from Amazon, but in the past have spent more time perusing small bookstores and picking up used books here and there. I love library sales as well.

I get my books anywhere and everywhere. I love going into book stores both new and used and completely losing myself there. I also like to be able to just click a few buttons and be able to order a book online.

Mainly ebay, I like to have a physical copy to keep and display on shelves but don't mind it being used.

I get some great books from the library, but most of the time I just use amazon. I have a couple of authors that send me books to read and review before they are released.

I get them from anywhere I can get.
Online or actual stores, used books or new ones, as long as I get to read books. I have a monthly allowance separately for kept for books. :)

I get most of my books on Amazon. I love shopping online at amazon because I can preview the beginning pages of the book and read a little bit to see if I am truly interested in the book. Also, you have the option to buy the book new or used and you can read peoples reviews of the book and also the vendor shipping you the book.

Mostly the public library. I don't like spending money on some thing that's available for free. Also I don't have to save space in my house to keep the purchased books.

Latest Review: "The Road To Comfort" by Becky Lower

Post by yalonde »

Amazon for my kindle. The library, and Barnes and Noble. I go to the library when I'm low on money. I really prefer to buy every book i read. I also prefer buying the book instead of the ebook. For that reason, i have a few books that i have on my kindle and in my bookcase. I also have books i have read, but the actual book is brand new and just sitting on my bookcase because i read the ebook or library book. I only do that if i really liked the book. Normally if i rated it at least a 4, and o have some money to spare, i will buy the book.
