[quote=Anonymous]I've started looking at Amazon for reviews and then going over to Barnesandnoble.com to buy the book. I have a Nook not a kindle. It takes a little longer, but I've read enough about Amazon's pricing policies that I don't want to live in a world where Amazon sells me everything. This is the same reason places like Penn Camera went out of business. I was actually in there buying something a few years ago and the store staff were complaining that people come in to test out their cameras and then buy them cheaper online. It's true, Penn Camera was paying rent on E Street while Amazon is shipping from their warehouses. It's sort of a collective action problem (that's an economic term related to public goods and free rider issues). If we all want places where we can go and flip through books and try out cameras before buying, then we all have to be willing to sacrifice a few dollars to support the places that offer this.
