So anyway, the other day I was at Books-A-Million the other day, the actual brick and mortar store not the website. Well, I bought a book. Actually, I bought several books. I go there because they give me that 10 percent discount, but the other day though I looked up a book that I bought on Amazon. The book was cheaper on Amazon. (Sonuva!) Anyway, I've heard similar stories.

For Christmas all I really asked for was a copy of Stephen King's Dark Tower IV: The Wolves Of Calla. I was going to wait until it came out in paperback. After all, there will be a super-duper box set when all is said and done, and who's to say that he won't rewrite it like he did the first one. I am a firm believer in not paying twice for the same thing. (It's partly why I took so long to go to DVD.) Anyway, My mother went to Borders bookstore to look for it. The price was 42 dollars. But on Amazon it was much cheaper. It also told her that she could pick it up locally. Guess where? Of course on a side note, I now never watch VHS anymore.

I really enjoy the ability to walk around and look at the books. You know, pick them up, read the backs, smell them, feel the rough edges of the pulp. It's great. But if it's going to start costing me, I'll drop it. Especially when I can get the books delivered to my front door.
