No way, if you are persistant, lets elect our new spamking and see for ourselves who is the king here

I already have an election campaign do you?

I HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEthe library

even though I love being able to read the books there, I will never borrow one again.
late fees that are 3x the price of the damn magazine, or twice the price of the book are lame and I'm forgetful.

New books:wherever I get a giftcard for.

I am a huge fan of brick and mortar second hand book stores

I tend to buy books I am fairly certain they will take for cheap from garage sales, then trade them in on other books.
I avoid paying more then 2-3$ for Pbooks that way.
There are 2 good ones near me, incredibly helpful, and it's nice to have someone who really cares about books and is interested in similar subjects to help you find similar books, google hasn't got nothing on a good human being for that yet IMO.

For Ebooks I love donation supported books(cory doctorow etc)
I will happily send them some dollars, because they make it easy, and don't make getting their books into a huge hassle

I like supporting the people who make stuff a reasonable amount, I make things for my living and I like when people pay for them too.

I've looked at docs.torrents, elbitz, bitme, textbooktorrents, demonoid, but haven't found much fiction, although they do a good job on nonfiction.
Honestly, I just stick to the piratebay for fiction and obscure ebooks, a non-dedicated tracker is too small to find stuff like that on IMO.

Usenet for new books/magazines, encrypted download at 1.5 megabytes/sec is hard to beat.

I believe(hopefully someday I'll find out

) that ebookvortex is the only really good private tracker for ebooks.
