Amazon.com - Am I Missing Something?

I just bought 5 brand new hardcover new release books through Amazon for $110, including shipping.

Before that, I went to an actual bookstore and could only find 3 of the 5 books, and the total for the 3 would have been more than $110.

How do bookstores survive when

a) Amazon kills them in price.
b) The bookstores don't have the books I want?

Good luck to them on that one,

CB

v) Multiple Streams of Internet Income - Robert Allen
