WJS, It sounds like you are representative of some higher income shoppers who clearly see "time is money" and who buy readily available titles. I enjoy both browsing at a "bricks & mortar" store and buying online as well. I order many titles, however, that are not in stock. AMZN on the whole has done a reasonably good job of getting them to me--despite numerous shipping glitches (that all co's seem to share). From experience, however, Borders in particular has had over a dozen books I bought "in stock/for immediate shipping" when AMZN said "hard to find" or "ships in 2 to 3 weeks." My guess is that you will quickly learn to shop the other sites as soon as you want a book ASAP--which AMZN says it won't have for a few days. Others, more bargain conscious than yourself, already are shopping around. Good luck, Monty
