On audiobooks : to me they do not replace physical (or Kindle) books but serve the purpose of cultivating myself while doing other tasks such as driving or washing the dishes. Speaking of that, while listening to the audiobook of "the cancelling of the American mind" yesterday, I heard what I think may well be the first reference to your concept of luxury beliefs in a book 😀.

Podcast are great to get recommendations of good content (books, websites, other podcasts, people, movies...) by people I trust. They are a chain that connect a network of great people. I first heard of Jordan Peterson on Jocko Willink podcast. On Peterson podcast, I listened to Claire Lehman of Quillette. And on Quillette podcast, I discovered you and the luxury belief concept.

If one wants physical books the used books on Amazon are the way to go. Prices are lowest in the summer. Quality descriptions from Goodwill outlets are usually quite accurate, Thriftbooks (city name) not bad either. Often can get a good enough quality copy without much marking or poor binding for 1 to 2 dollars plus 4 dollars shipping, and if it is a book you know you are keeping often a hardback is available for the same price, longer shelf life with better binding.
