Not the only one (Score:1)

No, your not the only one. I still don't buy from Amazon, too many small local bookstores are failing daily to undermine them by shopping at the self professed online Walmart.

The one thing I do struggle with is whether or not to link to Amazon. After casting around for an alternative, I find that Amazon is one of the few resources that it makes sense to link to when writing about books. They have everything listed, plus commerical and community reviews, collaborative filtering, and Amazon Lists which act like mini-blogs. Nothing else gets you that rich information on a single link.

We need a community sponsored replacement for *that* Amazon functionality.
