The mall of the future. Thanks for the ROBOT link. I just bought my first books on the web. Your link found the best price for me and the price beat AMZN by 16%. Each book was cheaper and S&H was also cheaper. Total with shipping: AMZN - $54.84 alldirect.com $46.31 I think there is plenty of customer inertia involved and people will buy habitually from a known web-location. Also AMZN had more a better site in many ways. But, as you all mentioned, it is easy for cheapskates like myself, armed with a cyber-robot to comparison shop and move to another webstore. I was most amazed that the internet price with shipping was lower than the publisher's suggested prices on the book cover. This is either a short term subsidy by the web-business or it indicates more trouble for brick stores than I understood. Any comments?? I always assumed I would be paying for the convenience of shopping on the web by paying extra for home delivery. We pay extra for pizza delivery.
