So, all you book bloggers out there are in the business of books, therefore, you probably buy quite a few books. I recently had some orders placed with Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble and decided I wanted to share my info/experience. Now, I understand that this probably won't apply to quite a few international book buyers as it won't work the same for you and you may not even have the option to buy from Barnes & Noble, so I'm sorry. Also, I understand that there are other places to buy books from, but I feel that these are 2 of the largest and the ones I use the most (especially since I have a Kindle). Lastly, this is my thoughts and feelings on this topic and as it applies to me and my physical location in Phoenix, Arizona. In December, for Christmas, I received several gift cards (2 Amazon & 2 Barnes & Noble). Usually I liked Barnes & Noble cards for books I wanted to buy in store and Amazon for the ones I could wait for and buy online, but I suddenly had a book buying epiphany. If I bought my Barnes & Noble books online too, I could get MORE books. Yes, I'd have to wait, but with my TBR closet stack building up and the library around the corner, there really wasn't an option, I'd buy online and wait.
