The Everything Store discussion

It seems Goodreads has changed and is now affiliated with something called Kobo.
Didn't it used to be part of Amazon?
Also listed is 'if you want to buy this book' is Book Depository.

I don't buy my books from online - I support my local bookstores and also get a lot of books secondhand from op shops, or borrow from the library.

I have not bought any book from Amazon in years as shipping is so expensive. Also I have had bad experiences buying online when its not what you expect it to be, or they send you the wrong format book.

I don't have a kindle and will only read an e-book from the library if no hard copy is available. I think books lose something when they are e-books. I also read a lot faster than listening to an audio book. What about you?
