i base amzn on myself.. i buy two to three books a week.. for 9 months of the year.. i read about 500-1500 pages a week. i have not purchased 1 book from amazon. i prefer to buy my books at either a discounter, a borders, or a barnes and noble... my paperbacks either at a kiosk, or a Strand in NYC.. which is maybe once a year. STRAND is cool. much of my reading is non-fiction, and lately pertains to programming and website design. a year ago i did not know how to copy. six months ago i could not get word files to work. now i am ftp and building code by hand, as well as learning how to incorporate my ideas into reality thru the web. every day i learn something new.. Amzn is not providing a service that is any faster/better than any book store.. basically they are like a book club.. except that you have aceess to better reviews.. you cannot go there and sip a cup of coffee and talk to others and get their opinions. The convenience is @ amzn only for people in remote locations.. and how many of those people read ;o) just kiddin' taxi
