Oh, really? - This morning I placed a large-ish order with Amazon, mostly textbooks for my next class. Ironically, this was on the NY Times today: "Online Sales Lose Steam as Buyers Grow Web-Weary"

Well, I love avoiding checkout lines, salespeople, and sales taxes. Today I ordered a copy of "The Confusion" by Neil Stephenson for $0.79 (plus $4 shipping) even though I never finished "Quicksilver." But, c'mon, 79 cents!
