But as of right now, there hasn't been even one book I wanted to purchase that wasn't available through B&N.com or Borders. However last week there was a book I wanted that WASN'T available on Amazon because they decided to throw a tantrum and yank the print edition over an e-book dispute. B&N.com had the book, and it was actually slightly cheaper since I had a member discount & coupon. It's quite simple. I won't give money to a business that will refuse to let me purchase the products I want because they decided to act like 2-year-olds over the pricing of different products. Period. And I'd be truly shocked to find anything on Amazon that wasn't available at some other online bookstore for a comparable price.

As for Barnes and Noble and Borders, when you buy books there, the author gets a lower royalty than if you buy at an independent bookstore (this depends on the contract they negotiated with the publisher, so I'm speaking from a personal sample of one, but it's my understanding that this is quite common). So from the author's perspective, B&N and Borders are Just like Amazon. Personally, I buy my books where it's convenient. Often, like you, that's at B&N or at Borders. But a lot of times, Borders and B&N simply don't have the book I want, because it's too obscure. So the ability to go to Amazon is important to me, because I really can get pretty much anything there. If that's not important to you, or if you really think that these games of chicken that retailers play with suppliers are a political issue you need to be involved in, then by all means don't shop there. But to me it seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Rebecca, if you don’t like e-books, don’t buy them.

I can get a book for the same price from B&N or Borders. I don't like e-books. I read printed books exclusively, and imagine that I always will - I simply *hate* reading e-books. So when I read only printed books, why should I support with my purchasing dollars a retailer who is willing to limit the availability of the product I want to buy - print books - over a dispute related to a product, e-books, that I have *zero* interest in. So yeah, no thanks. I've also decided to stop cross-posting my reviews on Amazon, since I don't want to be part of a system in which people are pledging to give 1-star ratings to any e-book they dislike the price and/or publisher of. I don't have a local independent bookstore, but I have a Borders and a B&N, plus B&N.com, and I feel they serve my needs and interests better and thus deserve my $$ over Amazon.

Art should just exist in it's own utopian realm. Until then I had to buy all of my novels for my college classes on Amazon. Saved me a couple hundred dollars... If we wanna talk about evil business, lets look at College bookstores! Those bastards! When you sell back a book, you get about 20%, then they resell it used for about 85%! Poor poor pockets. I pouted and my mom bought me Leviathan at Borders. Hard-back and all. Oh the power of my pout! Capitalism and books! Art should just exist in it’s own utopian realm.
