Where do you get your books?

Where do you mainly get the books that you are reading?

bookshops

I have hundreds of books stored electronicly. Many I get from online e-book sites, many are scrounged on the net either at other sites or via Torrent searchs. I can usually find waht I want in electronic format given enough time.

Either the library or the internet (e-books), I haven't bought a book in years...

Public library mostly. Good thing is i can borrow books from other branches online and have them sent to the local library 1 block from my house. I havent tried e-books yet for some reason.

I get them from the internet.

internet bookshops libreries..

sorry for double post my bad.. :(

I have a good number of eBooks, but I'm not a real big fan of them. I get most of my books through half.com because you can find some real good deals - especially the sellers that represent libraries who are clearing up shelf space. Amazon also has a good mix of new and used stuff for a good price.

Question to all of the eBook lovers out there. How do you read the books? Do you spend the time printing them out or throw them on to your cell or Ipod? I like the idea of them, but don't see myself sitting at the computer for a couple of hours reading them. It's just too uncomfortable.

I have never read an ebook for long periods of time because like Bo0ddha said it can probably be very uncomfortable over an extended period of time. Its very covenient though i imagine

I use the microsoft e reader on my laptop. I think this works well, however I would like a good portable reader.

i use my Nintendo DS to read my books and comics

works great!

Can you read ebooks on the PSP?
I have a large collection of ebooks - but i rarely read any of them. The most I can handle is a few magazine articles.

I generally read ebooks on my monitor. It's not really that uncomfortable to sit in my nice chair and scroll down occasionally. I don't have to hold a book, I can adjust font sizes etc, but reclining is difficult.

I usually print them...

I frequently visit some bookshops ;)
I just can't read a book from monitor, my eyes get tired quite quickly :-/

internet and some bookshops

I've read hundreds of ebooks on various pda's that I have owned. I'm currently using a palm tungsten e2. The Palm Z22 pda would be a good starter, it's fairly cheap and can hold dozens of ebooks.

bookshops i guess,but i havnet bought a book for quite a time

Mostly Internet bookstores (because I live in a country where english books are not very common), bookstores, downloading audio-books.

I've never found easy or convenient to read a book on a computer screen, so I don't eBooks, except computer/programming books where I search from time to time a specific answer to a problem. But I never read several pages on my computer screen.

At Internet bookstores.

Borders or Amazon for most of them and any interesting E books on the topics I'm interested in :yup:

from the internet..much cheaper. :D

Barnes & Noble

In Maryland, they have The Book Thing, http://bookthing.org where you can take books for free. Its like a huge used bookstore, except you dont have to pay for anything. Great selection! Serious!!

Either Books-A-Million or Amazon.com.

Amazon is great for old books and really buying used can save alotta money :yes: Been doing it for well over a year now.

I get them from internet. Easiest way. but can't read :)
