Do you order books online?

If so, how often, what's your favorite site and why?

(Even if it's an obscure site or local online bookseller, you're info would be helpful to me. Thanks!)

Update:

P.S. If you still answer (and I hope someone does), I'm not asking because I want to buy online - I sell and buy online now. Curious about where people make their online purchases and why. Again, thank you!

    Yes. Probably 5 or 6 times a year. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. You can get a pretty good idea by reading the ratings of others. A lot of times I want a book on a subject that isn't popular here in the States, so it's a lot easier to get it on line.

    Regards.

    My husband orders online quite frequently. One to two books a week.

    Not one site in particular. He shops for the best prices on collectibles.... and 1st editions.

    I've used Barnes & Noble.com, also Amazon....

    I do this maybe a couple of times per year.... I usually prefer to browse in the stores..... but sometimes there is something I want & can't find locally..... (I collect books)

  • When I do, and it's not nearly as often as it was, I always went to chapters.ca. But then they built a retail store close to my home and I didn't need to anymore. But when I did, it was often and very easy.
