If you have a kindle, you can find books on Amazon for $0.00
Thriftbook.com and sometimes your local library will sell used books at a large discount and they may even have a freebie shelf.
there's apps like bookbub that sell books cheap. Like books will go one sale occasionally for really cheap, but its certain ones at a time.
-half price books (U.S.)-i use bookbub to get deals on books. ive found a lot of books that arent rlly mainstream through this
-there are sites online where you can buy used books for discounted prices
Thrift stores usually sell used books and some thrift stores have a reward system. Some places will have special sale days. Also at Goodwill you can look for tags that match the color of the week and you will get half off. They also sell books. Not just in person but online as well.
Google library book sales for your area. Books are cheapest there, I find. You can also get new books that are hugely discounted on BookOutlet.com. I echo others advice of Getting used books on Amazon and Ebay and also suggest AbeBooks.com.
Thrift stores are also a great resource, and Facebook Marketplace. Summer is coming too so hit up the garage sales. Good luck!
I got a $1.00 book at The Book Garden, but that might only be in Utah, I'm not sure.
My husband is about to cancel my amazon, where I get my books lol

Thrift Stores, Ebay is actually relatively cheap, also used books stores sells books at decent prices depending on condition,author, and how new it is
if you’re in the uk vinted can be good 💗
search for thrift store or used book stores in your area! There’s a used book store in my local library, the books are like new and around $5 only 🥹Bookoutlet.com is great, it’s like TJMaxx of the book world; they’re always rotating overstock books.
Blackwells UK has cheap books as well!
for physical books we have vinted where I live
Free little libraries. I can give you a website where you can go and track them down. It's only psychical books which might be a downfall
My local library has used books for sale really cheap, try checking one out near you!
i use bookshop.org, it's not that much cheaper but it's something. i believe they are under Amazon (you don't need an Amazon acc to use) so if you are happy with the quality of Amazon books, try it. I don't think they have Kindle tho
The library!!! I rarely buy any books, if ever. Also check out thrift shops. You just missed some stuff your kindle days, but there will be more to come.
GoodwillHalf Priced Books
Amazon Used books
the works !! ( uk )ebay
Charity shops
Vinted
If you are looking for a popular book it’s worth checking depop, vinted and mercari
If you have a library card; use the Libby app.
I usually like going into BAM and looking on the clearance shelf’s.
book outlet is a good website akin to thrift books. I got like 8 books (most of them were hard cover) for $80, including shipping. you don't have to spend that much money of course lol but they can have good deals!

The libby app,prime reading has free books all the time,
the giveaways listed here on goodreads,
thrift stores,
book exchanges,
little library's around your neighborhood,
book bub is free and shows you where free or cheap books are being listed currently! I would highly suggest checking them out.
ebay, depop, fb marketplace, amazon (check for used books), thrift stores
Dover Publications, and the Book Outlet are great. Plus, archive.org you can sign up for free and read books on there too.
- betterworldbooks.com- Pango Books App
- thriftbooks.com
- bookoutlet.com
- blackwells.co.uk (good sales primarily and can get uk editions)
If your US based you can do - "county name" library sale - local libraries tend to rotate our books annually if not more for super cheap
amazon used section and other second hand selling sites + local thrifts stores or goodwills
also in general keeping an eye out for sales Target and Walmart do digital sales fairly frequently
Tik tok shop have some books worth a look
used bookstore in my library sells them for a quarter a piece and i’ve gotten,the summer of broken rules there and the inheritance games series!

If you’re US based: I know thrift stores have cheap books! Of course there’s not a lot of options but you may find some good books if you look!
I also see a lot of people selling on Facebook marketplace lol oooh maybe some neighborhoods near you have free little libraries you can try?
Walmart has popular books that are definitely a lot cheaper than places like b&n.
TikTok shopLibrary
School library
Thrift store
Sale aisle in bookstores
Given from other readers in the family/friends books
Ebooks. A kindle is a good investment
Free little libraries, check if your local neighbourhood has one. Don’t forget to leave a book at a place like that! :)
Free: Your local library! Most libraries have physical and digital reads.
Libby - you can use this with your library card(s)
cloudlibrary - I'm still new to this but I use my library through this site. I'm unsure if you can use this without.
Internet Archives - I use this to read the Fear Street series.
I also use something called Freebooksy that sends me an email of when a free book in genres I choose is available.
Cheap:
SALES - Browse local book sales in your area. Big Garage Sales or stores that are closing/getting rid of inventory knock down prices to get rid of things faster.
Thrift Stores - tend to be cheaper than Barnes n Noble and Book a Million.
Ebay - Use copies that are in good condition usually are cheaper than buying new. (Not always though.)
Digital Buys - This doesn't apply for every digital book, but most e-books (Amazon/Google Play Books) are cheap. Not the cheapest, but cheap.
Kindle Unlimited Subscription on Amazon - $12 a month to read books. There's a limit to how much you can keep in your Kindle Library, but there's no limit to how much you can read in a month.
Other Options:
Sometimes I use the community page on Facebook to ask if anyone is trying to get rid of any kind of books. I keep what I like and donate to local libraries or ask family/friends if they want the rest. There are a few times people just want to get rid of clutter and will give their stuff away for free. (or a $1 a book.)
