With so many options for buying books online these days, from big retailers to independent shops and second-hand platforms, do you stick to one place or shop around depending on whether you want new releases, bargains, or rare editions, and how much do factors like shipping costs, delivery speed, or supporting local sellers influence where you choose to buy from?

That's such a good question, honestly it depends so much on what I'm looking for. If it's a new release I want right away, I usually go for a big retailer just because they're fast and reliable. But if I'm hunting for something rare or out of print, I end up digging through second-hand sites or small independent sellers, sometimes you find absolute gems there. Shipping costs definitely play a role too, I've definitely passed on a book because the postage was more than the book itself. And I try to support local bookshops when I can, especially for gifts or special editions, it just feels nicer to know where your money is going. How about you, do you usually stick to one place or do you shop around depending on what you're after?

It really depends on what I'm looking for. New releases I usually grab from a big retailer just because it's faster. But if I'm after something rare or a second-hand find, I'll check smaller shops, you can stumble on some great deals that way. Shipping costs definitely play a role too, sometimes I've skipped a book just because the delivery was crazy expensive. And I try to support local sellers when I can. If I'm not sure where to look, I'll browse https://www.comparor.com/uk/books/ to compare options. So yeah, I definitely shop around, not just one place.
