Personally, when I order something these days, it's been on eBay. It kind of sucks though, and half of the packages still arrive in Amazon boxes anyway...?

Where do you liked to order stuff from, that's not Amazon?

I never understood audible. You pay $15 a month to be able to listen to 1 book per month?

Shout out to librivox, if you haven't heard of it. It's audiobooks recorded by volunteers reading public domain books. Obviously hit or miss on the quality of the reader, but it's free, so you can't complain.

Also, obviously, the humble local library and libby. (P.s., if you can get a few cards to different library systems, it's really easy to get books).
