Where Do You Buy Books?

[flume]

I like getting physical copies of the books I'm reading and don't feel like supporting amazon or book depository anymore... What can I do?

I already tried my local book store. They're good for German books but the problem with English ones is:

• Shipping takes forever
• Shipping also costs quite a lot, sometimes as much at the book itself (as opposed to online retailers where shipping is free)
• They couldn't even get some of the books I requested, they're too niche.
• I saw that they're just ordering them off amazon as well...? 

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I buy mine in Goodwill, Amazon, Books-A-Million and Barnes and Noble

Try ebay, maybe!

Try https://www.betterworldbooks.com/.

It is used books, but they have this cool thing, where for every book you buy they donate a book to someone in need. They do some cool stuff

I live in a neighborhood in Salt Lake City that has a thrift store with a demographic of donors who read and donate more high quality books than I can possibly read.

I'd have to look into that a bit, I'm not sure how ebay works exactly. Thanks though
