Website To Shop For Books
I am that horrible person that is killing small businesses. If I want a book enough to buy, I buy online at Amazon. I don’t go to Half Price Books anymore because there aren’t any near The Man’s, and I discovered they closed the Hastings that was in the next town over (same place I went to university). I buy books three specified times in the year: the fall and spring bookfairs at my school, and Texas Teen Book Festival in October. If there is something I really, really want in between I will go find it on Amazon.

I order from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and a few others.
I’m bad about Amazon too. The only bookstore we have here are either used bookstores or Barnes and Noble so I don’t feel too bad about it!
Amazon is definitely very convenient. I use it too, but I try to use the Book Depository more. And I’ve been loving there site.
Thanks for signing up and sharing your favorite.
I tend to shop at Amazon more often than not too, sad to say. There’s a really nice independent bookstore in town, but unfortunately it often comes down to cost. And the fact that I tend to read more e-books than paper books . . . We have a Barnes and Noble in town, but it doesn’t often carry what I’m looking for–and the amount of time it takes to drive there and back puts me off. I only go to that side of town if I have other things to do there as well. I’m so lazy. Haha
I read more ebooks, too, so that adds a factor into my choices. I don’t like traveling to the bookstores, either. I only go if I’m already in the area for something else.
