I know that Amazon gets plenty of kicks as a stock, but as a book buyer, it is nirvana. I have some Barnes and Noble gift cards burning a hole in my pocket. One book that I wanted to get was $70 at B&N website and $44.10 at Amazon. This discrepancy was one of the largest.
I think that I'll just use my gift cards when I go into the store and find things on sale that are one of a kind. A $26 difference, even when it is a gift card, does not strike me as well spent at B&N.
Another huge plus at Amazon are the reviews. I regularly read the reviews of stuff that I'm planning to buy. I find the reviews a huge value-add. A random vent to start the New Year.
