Where do you purchase your books? Do you mostly buy kindle ebooks? Do you still prefer print? Do you buy a lot of puzzle books, journals, or planners? Take the poll and make your voice heard! Choose every option you have personally used, or just choose which option you use the most. Currently I pretty much only buy ebooks from amazon. I hardly buy dead tree books, but if I do it's usually from a brick and mortar store, like Barnes & Noble or Target.

As a kid I got most of my books from the library and used bookstores/thrift stores since I didn't have a lot of money and amazon didn't exist yet.

I'm not sure the list works for bricks and mortar in the UK. The two big chains are Waterstone's and WH Smith, with The Works as a prolific seller of new remaindered books. Supermarkets must sell a fair bit given the shelf space some of them give.

My own list for the last year would be:
Digital - Amazon, Apple, Google, other
Online - Amazon, Book Depository, other used
Bricks and Mortar - Waterstone's, specialist bookstores, used book sellers (sometimes stall, no bricks)

Since I’ve downsized my life I don’t buy paper anymore.
