Ask HN: Where do you get technical books?

Usually kindle, but I try to buy a few books/year at Digital Guru on Lawrence near 101, next to Madhuban (mmm) in Sunnyvale. + easy side trips to Unix Surplus, Weird Stuff, Fry's, Halted.

I personally just buy a hard copy of the most important books and keep them for reference. Most of what I need can be found online so I don't usually have to purchase too many books, and I think the best ones are worth having around.

Get a safari books subscription or if you have a (dot)mil address you can get a free account, just call support.
