        Who buys book from Amazon? I go to a store and put my hands on the actual items to get a feel for them -- and then not wait a week for it to arrive.

          Well, if I buy books from Amazon, it costs 1/3 of what they cost locally, and I can actually find the books I want.

              Obviously the programmers at Amazon don't read books.

                    I do all the time. If I go to a bookshop they either: a) Don't have what I want (sacrificing range for mountain-high piles of the latest "bestseller") b) Have a copy, but which has been mercilessly thumbed and dog-eared. c) Are more interested in selling me coffee, magazines or "tat". In summary, modern bookshops are a pile of old arse. I long for the days of the independent, specialist, bookshop - and failing that, I wish they'd reanimate Christina Foyle just for the sheer quirkiness.

                          I have free 2-day shipping ($4 1-day shipping), and shipping is free for everyone for orders over $25 for most books. I highly recommend Amazon Prime. Like others have mentioned, I have found that books are cheaper on Amazon too. I once bought a book at a bookstore, then found it on Amazon for much cheaper. I bought it on Amazon while I read the copy I already bought (I really wanted to read it), then I returned the first copy I bought to the store when the Amazon copy arrived. And now that they have Kindle for PC, I buy eBooks from them too (quicker than going to the store).
