I am short Amazon for a number of reasons. I frequently buy books online and since I'm short Amazon, I attempted to use barnesandnoble as of late. Disappointingly, of the last five separate buying excursions, I've had to return to Amazon and by the books due three times due to the following reasons: 1) errors on pricing (they wanted to charge me 345.00 for a book that should have been listed at $34.50--I've never had a pricing problem at Amazon in the two years I purchased books from them), 2) I kept getting errors and couldn't get to the screen to buy the books--no problems at Amazon, however, and 3) I couldn't find the books I wanted, but Amazon had them. Am I just unlucky, or is Amazon just doing a better job? Anybody else had the same experience? I'm seriously thinking about getting out of my short.
