Amazon and Barnes & Noble (the actual store). - Akiva Moskovitz

Barnes and Noble - Lindsey

Amazon. Or Powell's (in Portland). I also go to a lot of second hand book stores, especially when I am on vacation. It's fun to browse, and I pick up some interesting reading material that I would otherwise not think to look at. - Mick Taylor

Borders. I'm just too impatient to wait for books to be delivered. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

I get most of my books on PaperBackSwap. Other than that, Half.com. I pretty much refuse to buy a book new unless I have no other choice, and then it would be on Amazon. - Rochelle

Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders (especially if they do teacher sales) and Powell's - Alex Scoble CISSP

Amazon, Barnes and Noble. - Jeff P. Henderson

Amazon, or McKays (used bookstore here in town) - ωαřмaiden

At the airport when in need of immediate gratification, Amazon for the rest. - Thomas Brox Røst

Amazon. Often buy used on Amazon. Always cheaper than buying from a physical store. - Squirrel Girl

No wonders Borders is least crowded; only Pea and Me shop there. Yeah Pea... likewise. I can't wait for books. AND i like the physical presence around me. I like being surrounded by Books. So I almost have a routiene to spend a couple hours in a store. Its Landmark in India though since there are too few Borders stores. - Parth Awasthi

Mostly I get free review copies ;-) Otherwise Amazon or a local indy store. - Bora Zivkovic

Yep paperbacks at Amazon. - Kol Tregaskes

I go to used books on Amazon for 100% of my books. - Jeremy Toeman

The Borders in Seattle is small and poorly arranged. It's my least favorite bookstore here. - Rochelle

Online - Amazon. In real life - Barnes and Noble. - Anthony K. Valley ©

The last few books I bought was in some airport store, otherwise it has been borders. I haven't bought any books in Lyon yet. - Gina K

I very rarely go into a bookstore with a specific book need. Whenever I go I'll spend at least an hour just walking up and down each row, pulling out titles, covers that interest me. This is why online purchasing doesn't work for me. Browsing Amazon just isn't as satisfying. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

Borders and Amazon. - Jack Carlson

Amazon - Flippity

Pea: <3 Ditto! - Parth Awasthi

I like paperbackswap, too, and I read stripped copies from a friend who works at Barnes & Noble, but I don't buy either of those. Most of the time if a book is in paperback, you can get the reduced price hardback copy at Barnes & Noble for the same price and I buy those. - Trish R

Amazon, Borders and WHSmith. - Roberto Bonini

Amazon & BN real store down the street - Chris W

Amazon, Target, and the comic shop down the street. :) - Cyndy

amazon, borders & half priced books - RAPatton

Alibris. Abebooks, Biblio. - AJ Kohn

Amazon and B&N, here. Text books at half.com. (Borders when I'm in Virginia.) My youngest prefers Target, too. - Heidi Jeffers Thibodeau

Barnes & Noble, airports, & Borders. - Mathew A. Koeneker via fftogo

Powell's in Portland, Opamp in Hollywood, Waterstone's picadilly in London, kepners in menlo park, dymock's in Sydney, Robertson's in Melbourne, borders water tower in Chicago, and ... And ... And... - David HC Soul

how could I Roget to mention Elliott Bay in Seattle ... - David HC Soul

oh and Harvard and MIT bookstores of course... I just wish we had a world class bookstore here at home, but now chapters/ Indigo's dominates the scene ... Even The World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto has droped off my lust since the takeover - David HC Soul

Borders. "still buy paper books" is an interesting phrase though: books are really the last frontier in the digital switch because we're yet to see past the first gen in digital e-readers - Duncan Riley

Amazon, PaperBackSwap, and Page One here in Albuquerque. - Steven Perez

Amazon for online and Borders for brick and mortar. I also have been known to just walk into interesting looking bookshops - Bill
