Where can I find mass market paperback books online?
Have you not searched for used book sites? There are so many and you can definitely get the size of paperback you want at usually good prices. Eg betterworldbooks.com wob.com, abebooks.com etc etc. Source: 5 months ago
Textbooks for Techniques Classes
New Directions for Strings Teacher's Manual Book 2 [Soft Cover ] ($29.75 on abebooks.com because on Amazon it was like $40 something I think). Source: 8 months ago
Learning More About Cancellations
Hi - my 2 primary sites to find publications are amazon.com and abebooks.com. I've found used copies of reference books on both sites. Since I collect Australia, I also watch the Australian auction site. I've found some great books in auctions. Of course, the shipping sometimes is more than the book. I also use eBay, but for some reason, the publications I look for are not as commonly found there. Source: 10 months ago
Hannover 1840 A Thaler, appears to be KM# 192 by all appearances however the weight is listed as 16.82g - my coin weighs 21.9g.
Found an old hardcover 1980 edition of this on abebooks.com ran me just under $15 total shipped from Germany! I'm mainly interested in better info on the 1800's coins, which I'm guessing was pretty well sorted by 1980, so should still be a good extra resource to have. Source: 10 months ago
What are you spending all that extra money on?
A lot of my money's gone to abebooks.com now that I can stay focussed all the way through a book. Source: 10 months ago

Ebooks
There are already some very good ebooks solutions out there so there's really no need. Calibre for the backend and database management, Calibre-Web for the front end, and Openbooks for content. Source: 5 months ago
Kobo / Calibre-web / ePubs - how nice do they play?
I have a carefully-curated calibre-web library that is 100% epubs. I have a kindle to which I usually send books from calibre-web with the 'send to e-reader' button, and it works great. Source: 5 months ago
Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
Worthy of note the Calibre-Web[0] project, which builds atop Calibre library to provide powerful web interface. The project and its maintainer deserve some love and support. [0] https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
