Do you buy your books in a new bookstore, a used bookstore, online or check them out at the library? Download audio books?

I like a great deal. Who doesn't? So I rarely buy books in a new bookstore. I will go the new bookstore to look at the book. I will jot down the price and then check a used bookstore or online. Whichever is cheaper is where I will buy it.

I occasionally will download an audio book if I am traveling a long ways in a car or on a plane. I cannot read on the plane because it makes me sick, so an audio book is a great alternative.

I found the best deal one day. I went to a used bookstore and found the $1 section. There were many paperbacks to choose from and I found three I liked. What a steal!

I go to those 2nd hand bookstores.

And like you, i normally check out the prices and the new titles online or at those normal bookstores. After that, i'd head down to the 2nd hand bookshops and purchase my books.

What i like about these 2nd hand bookshops are that i can always sell back the books once i'm done reading it.

Nowadays I hardly buy books from the normal bookstore. Most of the time I will buy books via the net. Amazon is my favorite online bookstore. I have bought various kinds of books from it with nice discounts. Besides, I can read others' reviews to the books. It can give me some ideas to buy it or not.

Yes I love Amazon! Sometimes I will buy through 3rd parties on Amazon when the book will be cheaper. Yes and I love the reviews.

I mostly buy books at book sales. My local library has book sales periodically and they are 25 cents for paperbacks, so I usually stock up.

On occasion I am looking for a specific book, or I want a new copy because it is a favorite author and I want to keep it, so I will go to the book store.

I also trade a lot. I have a few friends who read a lot, and we swap books from time to time, which is a great way to get books because they are recommended by a friend instead of trying a new author who I know nothing about.

I shop on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. There is no book store within 20 miles of me and that book store doesn't carry the books I like to read. I usually just shop online because it's more convenient than driving an hour and they also have a wider selection of books. Impulse buys are never a good thing when buying books. No use in wasting money to buy a book I'll never read. Right?

I buy them from regular bookstores and "used" bookstores. And also occasionally from three book clubs that I am a member of. I collect books of an educational nature...history, technology, biography, etc. But, I also read fiction. I don't really care about keeping fiction after I've read it. But I do keep the educational books. I see them as an investment. For that reason, it doesn't bother me to buy new books at regular prices. But, that doesn't mean I won't grab a bargain when I find one.
