I try to read most of them :) But because I live in Singapore, shipping rates for books from the US can be very expensive. I needed a way to find the cheapest cost for any set of books I want, shipping rates included. So I created Best Book Combo. http://www.bestbookcombo.com It factors in the various shipping rates for sellers from each store. This is especially handy for store aggregators like abebooks, where each seller has its own shipping rate. And for international users, I built them a currency converter too.

The above suggestions are good but...Amazon is not the best or cheapest source for books. That distinction goes to what ever book seller has the book that you want, with the lowest price and,the condition of the book that you will except. As I said, I collect books. With a 3000+ library, I'm very picky about what I buy. So, I'm looking for 3 things, current market value, commonality, and rock bottom price. I've always had sources for research, but the best I've ever seen in life is addall.com. They are the biggest aggregator I've ever seen. They search the biggest 24 book sellers on the net. That may not mean anything to you, but when you understand that each one of these major sellers hosts/sells books for thousands of book stores and sellers around the world, and those stores are selling in turn for millions of small book sellers, your talking about billions of books. So...there you are with your copy of "fill in the blank" and you want to know how common it is or how much its worth or, your looking for a paper back copy of "The Hobbit". When addall.com's used/out of print search brings up 6500 copies, you start to get the picture. The one thing you will learn from using addall.com's site is how "common" most books are. You can also sort by the common criteria,Title,Author,Price,Site,Dealer. Also, you'll learn how crazy the book market is. The price swings are unreal. Give addall.com a try. I know you'll like it.

When you get on manybooks.net, the number and scope of the free e-Books will astound you. In fact, you will probably go nuts and start downloading hundreds of books (like I did), only to find that you could never hope to have enough time to read them all. I burned them all to CD, creating an instant library.

I re-read and re-read my favorite books all the time. I always check stuff out at the library first unless I am asking for it for Christmas or birthday. If I am going to buy it myself, I make sure I like it before I buy it. This post and all the comments inspired me to sign up for paperbackswap.com. I spent less than $10 to send 5 books out and I ordered a book for my husband that, to him, is worth at least 3 times that, plus two more for me... Pretty good deal (provided the books arrive! :) ).

I was cured once I started selling my books on Amazon (see http://www.johnsjottings.com/archives/2004/10/26/selling_books.html) and realized how much money I had been spending on books I was only skimming once. Nothing like sellings books for 90% off to open your eyes. So that's one tip. The other would be don't buy books at airports. Huge markup. My name is John and I used to be a bookaholic.

It's nothing revolutionary, but may be useful for some. It essentially takes public domain books (read: classics) and posts them online in a clean, attractive fashion. With Google Ads! (Clever ploy, actually, and something I've thought of doing myself.) Here’s another site I just discovered: Read Print. It’s nothing revolutionary, but may be useful for some.
