Re: Best Way to Get Books?

I voted "In Store", but I don't usually purchase in stores such as B&N, etc. I purchase most of my books at thrift "stores" ;) and library sales (They have these every Spring and Fall)! The last day of the library sale in my area, is $1/bag day, so I usually end up bringing ...

Re: Best Way to Get Books?

I just voted in your poll. First vote, so as of now it's 100% in-store purchases. I only buy books from force of habit now. Boxes full of fiction I'll never get to are everywhere, so I don't bother anymore with that stuff. But I keep an eye out for reference books. The other day I picked up a book ...

Re: Best Way to Get Books?

Easiest for me is through e-books. I just need an internet connection. Comes in handy too for travel. But the only thing I don't like is that reading off a screen strains my eyes! E-books can certainly be the most convenient option! Is that the primary reason you're drawn to e-books, or is it more ...

Re: Best Way to Get Books?

Thanks for the response, and wow! Sounds like a great way to get books for cheap! I’ll definitely have to look into them! Do you ever buy new books? Say, the hot new releases you just have to read now? If so, have you found any way to obtain these that saves on cost at all? I ask because, while I ce...

How Many Books is Everyone Reading?

Hi all, I know we all love to read, that's why we're here! But meeting our reading goals isn't always easy, at least not for me. I'm curious as to how much (as in how many books, minutes per day, etc.) you all are reading each month? How much would you ideally read in a given month? If the answer to...
