Lol dumb EOP. Those Central Anime fansubs for LOGH are really inaccurate. I hope you're happy understanding very little of the dialogue.

is gen.lib.rus.ec down?

nvm

There's not a lot of choice here in Australia, if you want to buy online. I've made the mistake (more times than I'd like to admit) of ordering books from Australian book retailers. When they've even had the book in stock, I've been made to wait over a month for the book to arrive. It's amazing that ordering something off amazon, and having it shipped all the way from the US, is consistently quicker than trying to order through Australian retailers.

Where else am I supposed to get essential /lit/ in Alabama?

It works for me :^)

Dude that is literally fucking amazon you dip

Also do you know how they offer "free shipping"?
Guess what they adjust the book's price based on where you live

i use it. i have prime. i love it. i love a nice, freshly printed paperback greeting me at the doorstep when i come home from work.

>he purchases books

>>9837547
There's no reason not to if you're in the US and have Prime. Delivered next day or 2 days.

When I was living in Taiwan it was the only way I could get books, and the prices aren't even that bad.

This. Never brought a book in my life. Either gifted, lent, borrowed, stolen, or public library. Yesterday I waltzed in to my friend's library and took The Sun Also Rises off the shelf, and finished it earlier today. The idiots in this thread would have payed for it - what utter consumerism! Literature is made to be shared.

There is nothing wrong with buying books from Amazon.

Do you hate having money? Why would anyone opt for a new book over a slightly used one?

>>9838259
You can buy used books as well. No reason to not be open to that option along with other sites.

I'd rather support my local bookstore which is the anchor in the commons where my writing group meets.

Amazon already gets plenty of money from me. I bought vitamins and a phone charger which should arrive tomorrow.

i was able to get an epub of Greg Egan's latest from his website. fucking amazon wanted me to install their kindle app, i assume so they could withdraw access to the book whenever they felt like it.

I'm staying in Taiwan for several months, do you know good sites where to order second hand records and electronic devices by any chance?

Nice bait.

>>9837805
even if this is true, bookdepository is still the cheapest way to import a book on my country

If you buy a used book, you're a cuck.

Are there any sites better than alibris . com for finding used books online (for cheap) within the united states?

>use Amazon prime account to buy book for my physical volume collection
>arrives in a day or two
>perfect condition brand new
>decide to use a local store and order from them
>most books are out of stock and have a waiting list
>most of them are used and listed as "some damage"
>price is four times as high even though quality is worse
>Amazon prime also has video streaming and music services for free along with their discounts and shipping
Why the fuck would I not do this? Do you people hate capitalism or something? I'm not wasting money on an inferior product.
