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,

    I most recently read "Lucrative List Building" by Glen Hopkins.

    I am reading "Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren, but I don't like it. Its not what I expected it to be.

    I ordered:

    i) Marley and Me - John Grogan
    ii) Primal Branding - Patrick Hanlon
    iii) Blue Ocean Strategy - Kim
    iv) Never Eat Alone - kevin Ferrazzi
    v) Multiple Streams of Internet Income - Robert Allen
