Dipy there are a lot of people that are buying more books than they ever did before thanks to Amazon's excellent promotion over the internet. I am buying hundreds of books from Amazon and in the past I rarely did. The reason is, the information I have on the Amazon website regarding the product - which includes customer reviews etc. is propelling me to buy. Imo Books are an item that are better purchased via this channel than actual stores anyway. When you walk into a store and look at a book what do you have? Only a cover and some small synopsis on the back... maybe a one line review. Nothing compared to what you know about your purchase that you make through Amazon.
