Where's a good place to get them? Buy of course.
I'm not too much of a reader. Usually Wrestling books and bathroom books, like "Stupid criminals", "dumb 911 calls" the occasional manga, etc. But even those tend to add up. I'm thinking of getting a used Kindle to save some space. Especially since of my older books are falling apart. Maybe get back into comic books since I won't need to keep them in a box somewhere and worry about mint condition and special editions and hunting down old issues now that most of them are online now (though I should probably look into a kindle fire).

Have you checked out OpenLibrary.org? It's connected to archive.org. They have many many many books there that you can read for free, either on the website or on a device through Adobe Digital Editions. I think it's really really great. They even have a thing where you can search within the text.

I get some e-books thru the Google Play store on my phone since every week they have a wide selection of books on sale for under $4.

I have a Nook Tablet and use that for my e-books.
I also have e-comic apps for my iPhone.
There is just no way in hell I can go back to physical comics full time ever again. E-comics take up no physical space, never run out of stock, and more importantly, are waaaaaaay cheaper than the physical versions. Comics add up when you buy a lot of them, so e-comics just save the money in the long run.

wait. Are these onlinee books specific to the device?
I notice that Kindle and Nook are made by specific companies who have their own libraries. If you buy a specific device do you have to download from a specific place or type of file? What about iPads?

I believe, for example, Kindle Fire and iPad can download a Barnes & Noble store app so you can buy stuff from there too. I could be wrong, though. The comic app I use, ComiXology, is a multi device app, so your purchases can be read on all devices that support ComiXology. |

Most devices read PDF's, or can have apps to read PDF's. And as Koda said, you have Apps that you can download as well. So they're not really specific
