Greetings my fellow bibliophiles [View all]

I am in dire need of something good to read but need to resort to an online bookstore, preferably for used, less expensive books. Does anyone use these and can you recommend one?
I don't own a kindle; do you all swear by them? I do enjoy books but could head to kindle if I had to.

Thanks for any feedback!
