I’m in Canada, so options available in Canada are especially appreciated.

powells.com. Largest independent bookstore in the world, they ship to Canada, but it ain’t gonna be particularly cheap i’m guessing.
If you want to support local book stores, you can use bookshop.org. not sure how that affiliate outside the US though
I really like the concept, and I see a store on their list that I’ve been to several times recently. Really makes me realize how addicted to buying books online I’ve become, rather than going in person.
I use www.ethicalbooksearch.com to find the best second hand options in the UK. You can change your location to Canada, for which they say they search Awesome Books, Better World Books, Biblio and ebooks.
A lot of Amazon used book sales go through Powells or AbeBooks.
Could just go direct.
For Germany, just in case.

From my experience, rebuy has also been good for used books and other media: https://www.rebuy.de/
Depending on what kinds of books you’re into: https://www.pmpress.org/ https://www.akpress.org/
Secondsale.com has treated me well
Alibris for used? They’re independent. For new, if you have a local bookstore, I’d go with them first. If not, depends on your province. There’s probably a largish bookstore in the provincial capital that will ship.
AbeBooks. Usually better prices than Amazon, too.
AbeBooks was bought by Amazon in 2008.
dammit why do they own everything relating to books? I did use AbeBooks and they were great but I guess it’s still funding Amazon.
This is what I used and they’ve been great.
Kobo isn’t bad.
I’m looking for hard copy books. Paper in my hands!
Maybe a local independent bookstore?
If you want digital books the high seas provide plenty now.
I hate screens. I read on paper whenever I can. However, yeah, sometimes only digital is available (or available at a reasonable price).
Biblio is a solid but not perfect
Yeah, looks like they have a pretty good selection. Thanks!
Book outlet! They’re based in Thorold Ontario. They don’t have everything but I always check them first.
Looks worth checking whenever I’m looking for a book, but their catalog is very limited.
Tangential but I really wish audiobooks were accompanied by e-books that were keyword searchable.
So often I’m thinking of a passage in a book I want to reference. Can sometimes find by googling but not always.
