what are some of the best places to buy used books that aren't amazon?
@sneak bol.com or fnac. not sure if they are in Germany, though. Both are European.
@berkes i specifically hate creating accounts and dealing with payments to multiple sites/databases, so this approach is a nonstarter. i want a single non-amazon vendor to deal with who has a huge selection so i can buy all my books there.
@sneak Also, I prefer to buy directly from the publisher, if possible. E.g. O'reilly, pragprog, packt, Manning, apress, etc sell (or used to sell) books directly.
Sometimes writers sell direct too, e.g. via gumroad or on their own sites.
