Also, are e-book prices on par with print book prices in your experience? Or do they differ?

Thanks for sharing! I too, essentially exclusively, use libraries as my sole form of getting books...just can't beat free books! Only minor inconvenience I experience is traveling to and from the library every week or so to get my next book...that's where online ordering shows its perks.Dael Reader wrote: ↑10 Jun 2018, 16:51 I'm a writer and a musician, which means I don't make enough money to actually buy books or music (or go to many concerts). I was a poor kid, too. So I suspect that at least 95 percent of the books I've read in my lifetime were borrowed from the library. This is why I always vote YES for every local levy supporting libraries. When I find a book I absolutely love, I will I'll try to buy it at a local bookstore or through the website for a local bookstore, because I also believe in supporting local bookstores! But it the cost is just too much, my final choice is Amazon.

They get a lot of flak but, for me, they can't be beaten for convenience. I read quickly and I travel quite a bit to visit family, so carrying one Kindle is vastly superior to lugging around 3-4 novels when I'm carrying a bag on my shoulder. I'd always choose a physical book in my hands if it were affordable and convenient but often that's not the case! I rather wish I had better library options!ianbuchanan wrote: ↑11 Jun 2018, 11:54Thanks for sharing! How do you like e-books? I've heard mixed reviews in these forums.

I can definitely see the convenience when traveling! I too love physical books, but I often don't read all too much when traveling or out of the house. I love my local library for allowing me to get any book I really want for free...do you not have any close by or are their selections limited?Rhianne wrote: ↑11 Jun 2018, 12:04They get a lot of flak but, for me, they can't be beaten for convenience.

Unfortunately not! I used to love my local library but since I moved across the country it's not feasible for me since I don't drive. The nearest one is for local university students only.ianbuchanan wrote: ↑12 Jun 2018, 17:21I can definitely see the convenience when traveling!

Sounds great! I'm curious, what's your favorite way to get your books...say you could only choose one method, what would it be? And why?
