I also borrow a lot from the library. Our library sends you an e-mail reminder when your book is due and lets you renew easily online. Since they've implemented that I haven't had a single overdue book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-745136 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:37:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 745136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paperbackswap, Amazon, and our local used bookstore (books range from $0.50-$2 there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-745039 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:17:00 +0000 MsInformation 745039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon and Better World Books for online shopping. DH and I love used bookstores. There's a thrift store a block away with a decent book selection, and we have other favorites in the city.</p> <p>@apis We love the Strand! We live in Chicago now but used to live in New York and that was one of our favorites, along with the Housing Works Bookstore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-744574 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:15:29 +0000 apis 744574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are about two or three small independent bookshops in NY that I love: Three Lives &amp; Company, McNally Jackson, and Book Culture. Oh, and Shakespeare &amp; Co. And Strand Books. Okay, five independent bookstores.</p> <p>Online, Abebooks is great for used and new and, obviously, Amazon as well, often for e-books.</p> <p>Not forgetting the good old New York Public Library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-743551 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:11:01 +0000 MrsH 743551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Library book sales, internet, used book stores, meijer outlet store, loaned from friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-743184 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:43:40 +0000 yin 743184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should buy more books for myself, but I prefer to spend money on books for my LO. Instead I borrow books from the library (both books and ebooks). It's set up to remind me when books are due, and I can renew up to three times online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742880 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:48:39 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 742880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's an e-library function that my library uses. That's where I usually get most of my books, or the traditional library. Sometimes, rarely, I'll order books off of Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742847 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:42:10 +0000 rattles 742847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For classics, I like Barnes and Noble's pretty hardbacks that they put out every now and then. For newer fiction and nonfiction, Amazon, a local shop or the library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742755 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:25:06 +0000 Lozza 742755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thrift stores in my area have great used book selections, so pick up a ton of books there. I also use the library a lot, including library ebooks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742701 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:16:14 +0000 Alivoo01 742701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to order from Amazon, but once I discovered Half Price Books, that's where I go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742592 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:00:05 +0000 fancyfunction 742592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually get books from the library unless it's a book I know I'll want to own. Then I'll either order on Amazon or pick some up at library book sales. My library even has a store where every book is $1 so I've gotten some great finds for Lady M there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742587 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:58:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 742587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon, my mom and I split our Kindle account. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742582 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:58:07 +0000 regberadaisy 742582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My library has ebook so when the lending period is over you just don't have access anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742567 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:56:37 +0000 heffalump 742567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Half.com </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742563 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:55:59 +0000 Sweet T 742563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Nook so I buy a lot of them as ebooks from B&amp;N. I buy hard copies from B&amp;N, Target, and Walmart. I use the library too but it doesn't have the best selection so I don't go very often. I don't have a preference between new and used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742536 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:52:48 +0000 MaisyMay 742536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm perfectly fine with used books. We have a Half-Price bookstore that's pretty good, plus non-Goodwill thrift stores. My favorite, though, was down in the L.A. area where there are four $1 bookstores. Literally every book was only $1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742532 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:52:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 742532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy both new and used. I buy them for $1 at the bookstore in my local library. I also go to Half Priced Books, Goodwill, and Wal-Mart for discounted books. When I'm buying new I go to Barnes and Noble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742531 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:52:22 +0000 mediagirl 742531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom orders them on Amazon. We share a Kindle account. I'll also get them from the library but I am horrible about returning them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-your-books-from#post-742520 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:50:46 +0000 Bao 742520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am getting back into the groove of reading, but I need some new books. I don't really like to pay full price since I usually only read my books once. I'm horrible at borrowing from the library because I either don't read it in time, or don't return it on time and then have late fees because I forgot to renew. </p> <p>Where do you buy your books from? Do you prefer new or used? </p>
