[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think for most people this is a combo of budget/discretionary income + capacity to wait.  For me, my interests don't always align with the books the library tends to purchase (international lit fic) so I do buy a lot.  I generally order from Blackwell's in the UK.

Also depends on your library.  I still have a card for the Philly library (shhhhh this is key to my happiness) and it has a vastly superior ebook collection compared to DCPL (which I love as an organization, we're just not in sync).[/quote]

I love Blackwells. I would love to see the list of books from your most recent order! [/quote]

Isn't it great??  They're the best.  My last order was an all-in-one version of Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy, Cuddy by Benjamin Myers, Amma by Saraid De Silva, Monstrum by Lottie Mills, and couple of Oxford World's Classics paperbacks (North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell and Germinal by Emile Zola) - I like Oxford's versions when available.  You???[/quote]
