I would say Amazon. Most of the US chains now sell online, but I don't think anyone has come close to catching Amazon. I could be wrong though . . . my information is anecdotal, not researched.
Good luck! |

I have to agree with Filark. For online, it is probably Amazon.
Barnes and Noble and Borders have lots of coupons for deals also. |

I do 99% percent of my book buying at Amazon, although I do occasionally fall back on Barnes & Nobles. So I would have to say Amazon is the best place.

If you're looking for a brick & mortar answer... Barnes & Noble seems to always beat out Borders, and Books-a-Million can't really put up a good fight. Although, Borders does also own Waldenbooks. The pair together might be catching up to B&N?
I live in the sticks and there's a Waldenbooks 20 minutes from me, that I hate. I do all of my book shopping on Amazon. :P Even before Kindle. |
