Not wanting to wait for delivery (gonna be sunny tomorrow and I want a book for the beach), I drove over to B&N and picked up a paperback for $6.34 (tax incl) (and got a capachino to go). I was curious how much my lack of patience cost me, so I logged onto Amazon and B&N and I'm a bit confused as B&N online wants $13.56 and Amazon $11.96 (not including S&H or capachino).

Wasn't this new fangled way of buying books (e-commerce) supposed to save me money?
