That is something no one is talking about. For years, Amazon was just about the cheapest for books; 30-50% off cover price was routine.

I was ordering some novels recently, and they were all cover price- there would be no reason to bother ordering from Amazon at that point, except the only bookstore left in town is Barnes & Noble and they didn't have the books I wanted on the shelf.
