I buy most of my books from bookshops, though mostly at sales or on special - new books are just too expensive. If I'm buying online I buy from Amazon. Even with shipping to Australia, on expensive items they sometimes work out at <50% of the price shops here would charge.

As a book reviewer, I also get free review copies from many publishers. And I make a lot of money from Amazon's affiliate program.

I've never been that excited by the Borders shops in Sydney - Abbeys and Gleebooks are still better for my kind of books - but it will be interested to see how they go as franchises or independents.
