Yes, that is what I do, except for the dollar stores where I will pick up books that I have never heard of because I can do a quick browse to see if they have any promise.

And of course the library and the book fairs.

I will buy a used paper book from Amazon if it is something I really want. A favorite author, or a series or something I have waited for.

I miss the old days when you could get any number of used books from Amazon for $5.00 including shipping.

I seldom buy a new fiction book. I am not in a hurry.
