I'm interested in starting to read light novels, but I don't want to read fan-sub translated stuff. Amazon sells a lot of Light Novels all in Japanese... so I want to know if there's any legit place that offers English translated LN?

Amazon also sells a lot of light novels in English. But you could also try Rightstuf.

Any particular series you're interested in?

For stuff with physical releases in English, you buy them in the same places as you would buy any other book.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria is ranked #2 and I couldn't find it on Amazon or rightstufanime; I'm also interested in Ecchi LNs, so if there are finished (English translated) LN... all suggestions are welcomed.

Unfortunately on my country there aren't any bookstores that sell LN, so I need to buy all my Anime related stuff online.

HakoMari has not been licensed for an English language release.

As for ecchi stuff, I don't know of any ecchi light novels with English releases that are complete (unless you count smut which there has been a lot of but which really isn't the same thing). Probably the most ecchi series getting released in English right now is No Game No Life.

And most online retailers that sell a wide range of books will sell light novels which is sort of what I meant before. Wordery and bookdepository are commonly recommended, as both have free shipping to a large number of countries, but this doesn't include Costa Rica unfortunately.

Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Books A Million have a lot of light novels that are legit translated. Could check into j novel club if you don't mind digital too.
