Do you guys ever buy books off amazon? I find it hard to stay motivated with digital books and used bookstores usually don't have the stuff I care about

>> No.21399087

Yes I've bought books on amazon but you should shop around to find the best prices
If you're looking for used books then you should try websites like thriftbooks/abebooks depending on where you live and ebay

You don't go to used book stores looking for something specific, you go to them to find those things you would never have looked for.

The normal price of things is not cheap. It's cheap when it's below the normal price.

All the time. And I send them back for free next day replacement if they aren't in perfect condition.

A company that profitable should be able to pack a book properly.

Don't think they actually make much money off the hundreds I spend on books.

YEAH, I DO. I FIND THAT HAVING A PHYSICAL BOOK IN MY HANDS MOTIVATES ME TO READ MORE. USED BOOKSTORES ARE GREAT, BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T FIND THE BOOKS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

I only buy books from three people: Jeff Bezos, who has every book at a reasonable price
a guy at the sunday market who sells books for $2 out of bags on the ground and spends the money on shrooms, and a bald guy with a better selection at the market who sells them for $7
