I tend to do all my online shopping for books/DVD's at Amazon.  Just curious as to where folks here go....

I too buy most all of my online books at Amazon.

I buy mostly from Amazon.  But I also check out lulu.com for self published works.  There are some really good ones out there.  That's how Gregory Solis started out.

I buy from Amazon occasionally.

I also shop at DriveThruHorror.com and specific publisher websites such as Elder Signs Press, 12 to Midnight, etc.

Wel, my preference is always to buy books in bookstores - you can't beat the shopping experience of browsing along the shelves.  But a lot of authors that I read just don't make it to stores over here so I can only buy some books online.

I buy mostly used off Amazon resellers. A few pennies for a gently used book plus four bucks for shipping. Best deal ever.

I probably shop online at Amazon more than anywhere else, yet I don't buy many books there.  It tends to be movies and music for me, plus a place to build up the "Universal Wishlist."

I still love bookstores.  Online, Amazon's probably tied with eBay, where I find a lot of out of print stuff that I'm looking for.

I live a hundred miles from a bookstore, so I do most of my book shopping online. I usually go to Barnes and Noble for a book, but I have been known to go to amazon. For out of print stuff, I go to Ebay.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.  It's pretty much as I thought - most who shop online for books do so through Amazon...
