    I don't usually buy any books online. I prefer to buy them traditionally in the bookshop. What concerning my old books - I prefer not to part with them because I prefer to save the books for my children:)

    LOL! We have been online booksellers since 1998 and ship about 500 orders a month. Not only do we take finds from our local sources and offer them internationally, but many are special niche or hard-to-find items. Online broadens the market for Buyer and Seller. Unfortunately, the shipping expense is a major barrier for inexpensive common items that would be cheaper locally (such as from a thrift store).

    And, yes, we buy books online too, when appropriate.

    Also, trying to get into publishing some, especially interested in possibilities for Kindle. Interesting comment by krolbiz there, would like to hear more!

    And, yes, when it comes time to cull out old unsold items, we either keep them for ourselves, give them to friends (if they want them), or donate them back to the thrift stores (which is our main source of inventory).

    Why do you ask?

    I only ever buy books online.
    There's a much bigger choice and they're better value.
    Old books remain on the shelf. I may use them again one day in the future.

    I have brought loads of books online. They are always cheaper than my local book shop and you have a lot more choice.

    I usually buy books online...it is cheaper and more convenient.

    and I don't give my old books to anyone...I am possessive about them and reread them too...:D.
