It's a sickness.
Someone needs to remind us that they're not love. They're just books.

Yeah, but who needs love when you can have books? After all, books aren't fickle.

Ahh, books: the only friend that will never betray me.
*Buys more books*
Online shopping is the best thing that ever happened. Especially with size charts, I can even buy clothing online. I like having reviews for items so I'm not just blindly picking something out at the store out of their crappy selection. It seems like I go to a store and see something that I like but they're out of my size, and then I have to go online anyway and order it.
Anyway, the selection is better, I don't have to deal with crowds, if I'm smart about it the shipping is often free, and there's very few drawbacks in my opinion. I think the largest drawback for me would be the environmental impact, something which I admit I'm not fully educated on.

That's my boy.
It's the impact to the high street you should be pondering. When our town centres become a wasteland of fast food, charity shops, and boarded up windows, the out of town supermarket is usually blamed but how many specialist shops have disappeared because of online shopping? Book shops are a good case in point. *Orders up another book*
Very true - I never bother with the hassle of buying clothes in stores any more. I have one site that I trust (landsend.com) - they always have a great range of colours and I know how the sizes work.
I don't really care about that so much. Sales people are annoying, prices are higher because of overhead, and even so-called specialty shops often have very poor selections.
when i first did some on line shopping my other half gave me her credit card and said
"go for it"
I was a little bit nervous bearing in mind I wasnt the actual card holder but a few clicks and a couple of numbers and i had bought a few things (well ok maybe a bit more then a few things).
kind of made me keep a more watchful eye on where I leave my cards seeing as any one can just pick it up clickety click on the net and I'm paying thier bill.

I am incapable of buying just one item from Amazon.
Well, if you did, then you wouldn't get the free shipping.
God, they've made so much off of me with that promotion. It doesn't help that I have an eleventy-billion page wishlist of things I don't quite want enough to buy as soon as I see them, so I can always find something that'll put me over the top.
A valid point, but what about people like me who can't drive and therefore have no other choice? Granted, I'm not completely stuck at home, but there IS a limit to how far I can go in my wheelchair.
My local used (and new) bookstore generally has better prices than Amazon.
I flirted with online shopping, but have found that buying at local businesses is usually cheaper and more convenient. Plus I get to lord it over corporate pawns on the interwebs
Around here you can roll a wheelchair onto the bus. The route between my street and downtown runs every 10-15 minutes at peak times, never more than 25 mins even late at night or on weekends.

Personally, I find that online shopping and regular shopping are very different experiences.
I go to a site like amazon.com or chapters.ca when I already have something specific in mind.
I go to an actual bookstore when I have nothing specific in mind, and just feel like browsing. I usually wind up buying something I hadn't known about before.

I browse on Amazon. I look through the "Recommended for You" and the "Customer who Bought this Item Also Bought". Once I see a book I am interested in I look it up at Book Depository to see whether Amazon or BD would be the cheapest for me and then I add it to the Wishlist of the cheapest place.
I just wish I had enough money to buy everything off my rather long Wishlists.

I keep buying books but I also keep misplacing the dam things.
'Tis true. How can people do Sainsburys shopping on line when they don't know what's on the reduced shelf
