do you buy ebooks online?

Question

do you buy ebooks online ?
or do you say "i should better go to a shop"?

please also say from what country you are

Answer 1

I'm in the US, and I'd rather go to the library... I go there a lot; even bought one of their special 'friends of the library' bags to show support and because the bags are cool.

I love the new books too, and visit them sometimes just to smell the ink... but can't afford to buy many. I have to look at paperbacks published in the smaller format if I can buy anything!
That's it... interesting survey, I'll "star" it for you.

Answer 2

Yes, I buy e-books, though I prefer traditional books. Some kinds of books are easier to find online, and sometimes it's more convenient if I just want a quick read. If it's a book I know I'll want to keep in my library, a book that's important to me for whatever reason, then I always buy the physical book. (I buy traditional books online, too, from www.ebookspoint.com.

Answer 3

I'm from New Zealand and no i don't. I would much rather buy an actual book, because I think an ebook takes half the fun out of reading. But that's just my opinion.

Answer 4

Well, you can't buy e-books in a shop, so you pretty much have to buy them online, don't you?

Sorry--I'm being sarcastic.

Answer 5

I especially verify books out of the library, yet while i purchase them i'm getting them from shops. I even have on no account study a e book online--i might, I purely have not yet. i like to curve up with a sturdy e book, and my visual show unit isn't conducive to doing that.

Answer 6

Since the day I came on-line, I get all my books for FREE, enjoy.
