Besides, these days the price difference often isn't actually very large anymore, once you add the cost of shipping.
I always have plenty of stuff in my "buy it when I get a chance" list that I never pay for shipping from Amazon.
I used to wander through a lot of bookstores and book sales from colleges/charities/etc., but I don't any more, since I can pretty much always find exactly what I want by searching Amazon. In addition, I don't have to puzzle through the bookstore category system to figure out where a book might be. A great example of this is that I pretty much like everything that Isaac Asimov has ever written, but finding it all in a bookstore is painful. On Amazon, it's a simple search for his name.
