You're incorrect. www.borders.com -- any online bookstore can bring it to your door. Oh,and btw, amzn was the 10th cheapest in the gomez survey according to the WSJ -- not real impressive.

The next 'on-line' service should be same day delivery. There is no reason why my local B&N can't deliver a book ordered on-line same day (they're only 15 minutes from me).

35% higher price to have it sent in the mail 6 days later. What a deal. With most people now having a bookstore somewhere along their way home from work, this won't last long. I have three of them on my way home, that I know of.
