>>you can browse the books to your heart's content at your neighborhood Barnes and Noble. Not in your boxers at 2:15AM during a blizzard.

Book retailers offer you one thing that Amazon can't -- you can browse the books to your heart's content at your neighborhood Barnes and Noble. Indeed, which confirms my point. Is not just about price. It's about service, browseability, reviews, comments from the author, inventory, size of listings, and prize, among other things. I'm not claiming Amazon wins in all of the above, or even in some. My only point is that is not only about price, period.
