1. More than I did before, but I also can finally afford the books that I like. I would say a few a month. Most of the one's for "reading" are about environmental issues. Some art books when I can decide that I really like one. Cookbook here and there.
2. Depends. I buy from both. I really need to be in love with an art book before to buy it.
Question 3 applies to both, and I'll say wherever I can get the best deal. Sometimes I'll take photos of a book I see in person and then look it up online for the best deal.
