You're not kidding. Halfway through it now. Didn't start reading until today.
It is so true.

Its kind of the point...you pay a little extra to get the book then instead of waiting a week to get it.

So, why didn't you just buy them on Amazon? Very simple solution to this "problem".

Yep. Buying in person is like express delivery.

I try to buy local if the prices are competitive. I also realize that value doesn't always mean cheaper. That said, the local guy has to at least get close.

Ha! First time online in a while? I'm getting an Amazon prime shipment tomorrow (Sunday) from the US Postal Service that I ordered yesterday. It's diapers and fishing shirts - only the critical needs.
Yep. I'm getting my Samsung DA29-00020B Comparable Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement tomorrow too.

I've never waited more than two days for anything on Amazon. Prime is well worth it.

next time try the pore people store. You can get more

I try hard to buy local and don't really like shopping online but books are one area where I can't justify it. It's so much cheaper online.

Exactly, nothing wrong with prime...but you still will have to wait even if a short time. Prime also...isnt free so you are still paying a premium for getting your item faster.

Be careful, sometimes the shipping catches you.

Just looked on iBooks and it is 11.99 for Dispatches from Pluto. Why not just download then you save a ton and you don't have to wait for it to be delivered??

It was $16 at bookstore. I was picking up my order and they had a stack of them at the register. Impulse buy. Not griping about that one.
I was surprised they got my order in so quick. Maybe one day later than Amazon would have. Look, sometimes I prefer books because I like to highlight and make notes. So my kindle app has quite a bit of fiction but not nonfiction. The Poilu book is one I will be getting out the yellow marker for quite a bit.

I like the idea of shopping local. However I usually just download the books I want to my kindle reader or iBooks

Nah, the point is that when you buy locally you're supporting the local economy/local jobs.
Buying local is almost always more expensive, that's why people have to be reminded to buy local. OP may not have enough disposable income to buy local.
