Speaking to the main point, I a an inveterate book collector ( many topics but predominantly aviation nonfiction). Although I dearly love going to bookstores and do even in countries where I don’t read the language, I learned early to utilize mail-order resources and then online. Amazon first eliminated its new book sales competition and now has come to dominate used book sales mainly due to the seamless integration of used books and third-party sellers into its platform. Other online used book engines like ABE ( American Book Exchange) have held on and offer a great service but Amazon is hard to beat, especially as their reach is worldwide. It happens that one of my special interests is WW II aviation ( my father was a B17 bomber pilot based in England) and British aviation is an important subset. Amazon sources through Amazon UK perfectly seamlessly.
