Glenn, You're in retail. Please explain something. Never mind the price of amzn stock. Nearly every book Amazon sells can be found significantly cheaper at shopping.com. I ordered one from Shopping. It arrived in perfect condition and cost was $13 less than Amazon. There are some people on this thread who claim to buy HUNDREDS of books per year from Amazon. Does this make sense ? It only takes a few minutes to check out the other sites. And the darn book is the same. It is even delivered by the same UPS person. It isn't a restaurant meal where you might prefer the ambience or taste. By the way, regarding the Drugstore.com, their prices are approx 20% higher than the local pharmacy for two prescriptions that I use. I am totally sure that even if individual consumers wish to overspend, their insurance company will not let them go to a high cost store just because the experience is "more fun" as the book lovers claim.
