Lately I've just been buying all of my books on my Nook. Usually, I buy them at Barnes and Noble or the local bookstores. I also gets lot of books as presents or from the sale shelves at the library.

I most often get my books from the library because I can't afford books and my parents don't buy me books because there are libraries close by. I do love to collect books when I can, though.

Book Depository!
It's the only site (that I know of) that ships books for free. In The Netherlands (where I live), you can't really get good/a lot of English books in book shops (obviously, because people speak Dutch here), and shipping costs are ridiculously high if you want to buy books online! (around 80 dollars)

I usually borrow or buy them second hand, but if it is something new I go to Barnes and Noble.

I normally get books from Amazon using my kindle fire but recently I joined a Book of the Month club that allows me to get a book in the mail each month of my choice. I have also gone to thrift stores, garage sales, Half Price Books, Barnes and Noble, and a few other stores to get books. I am not super picky but overall I do use Amazon the most.

I really like reading e-books as they can be read anytime and can easily be read anywhere.

I pretty much buy all my books from Chapters, either in store or on my Kobo. But I try not to buy too much these days because my bookshelf is overflowing! Also try to utilize the library, especially ebooks on my Kobo, because it's so handy!

But really, Chapters has the best and biggest selection that I have seen in Canada.

Well...I have no particular place I normally or habitually frequent for my reading materials. I don't have any preference on type of reading material neither(online or offline books) But since I am more online these days I read more ebooks that hard copies and at that I still don't have a preferred source
