Bede: "Come to gawk at me? Can you really afford to waste time like this?"

Oh boy! This is my favorite kind of question :)

My two go-to places for used books are Powell’s, which is a very large, amazing bookstore with a ton of used options, and Biblio, which is just a place where a bunch of booksellers have their used and rare books for sale online. 

You can also go to the IndieBound website and type in your zip code, and it will tell you all of the indie booksellers around you, so you can find a used book shop near you. Most indie booksellers I know of do shipping and online sales.

Kobo is a good ebook alternative to Kindle. Their readers are nothing to write home about, but the ebooks themselves will work on basically anything that’s not a Kindle or a Nook, as long as you download the Kobo app.

And for audiobooks, Libro.fm is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. A portion of the proceeds go directly to an independent bookstore of your choice, their customer service is fantastic, and they do a lot of fun stuff like playlists and promotions. Can’t say enough good things about Libro.fm.
