Where do you buy Books?

I'm trying to go 100% digital with my Nook and Comixology...

This is the same exact route I'm taking with my Nook. Using CM7 Android SD card to boot into a full Android instance on my Nook and using Comixology, among other apps, to go completely digital.
 
I am surprised how many people are buying their ST novels as eBooks. I like my Nook, but I don't feel you get a good deal on eBooks. They had that pricing scandal in the news recently. You can never buy a used eBook, or sell your old ones can you? I have some New Frontier books that came on a CD with one of the Hardbacks, so I can try reading some ST on my Nook.

Yeah, it's more expensive... I used to get 10% off at Barnes & Noble. But I'm just totally out of shelf space. And the last time I sold off the Trek books I had finished reading, I regretted it later. So at this point I'm willing to give up the discount for the convenience.
 
Usually Amazon.ca, but when I am in Toronto I go to The World's Biggest Bookstore, or when in Ottawa I go to Chapters. I hit up Barnes and Noble whenever I travel the U.S.
 
Barnes & Noble near me. (It's literally 5 minutes away from me, so I'm usually there at least once a week to begin with.)
Amazon for New, Used and Kindle books.

I used to shop at this great used bookstore near me called The Raconteur. But sadly it closed its doors in January.
 
Amazon and eBay, mostly. Sometimes my local Chapters/Coles, depending on which end of town I'm at and if they've got something on the bargain table I want. Sometimes you can get incredible deals there on hardcovers for less than the price of a new paperback.

Books are godawful expensive in Canada. :(
 
When I was still buying paper books (up until the first 4 Typhon Pact books) I'd get them at Borders or Barnes & Noble depending on where I'd see a new book first, though as I'd started getting to those places less frequently I found myself ordering them through Amazon more. Now I'm exclusively getting them on my Kindle.
