I love Amazon...but I have to be very careful about using it because I could spend way too much.
Interesting things I've bought:
* The entire Encyclopedia Brown series
* Treble Charger CD
* The Rocky series soundtrack
* An Idaho-shaped cookie cutter
* A DVD of aerial views of Idaho
* Several children's books for my Little Man.
What have you bought?

Amazon is the best. One-stop shopping AND free, fast shipping. What could be better?

If it's cheaper on Amazon.com, yes. But only if I'm planning to buy enough to qualify for free shipping.
Sometimes I have to be careful not to get sucked into spending more than I wanted to just to get the free shipping.
I will also check bn.com and stop into Borders and B & N to check pricing. It's amazing how different prices are on the web vs. in the stores themselves.

Only used Amazon.com once, but I saved a bundle on getting the complete set of Harry Potter books.

With the Wal Mart poll yesterday, and the Amazon poll today, Boom is building to something. I don't know what it is yet, but I think it's going to be good.

Mrs. Ace does.
One big thing in favor of Amazon.com is that (unlike some other retailers I could name) they are super at customer service. It's important to them.
Good story in the Times from a business writer who ordered and Xbox 360 from them and a neighbor signed for it and left it in the hall and it was gone. Amazon still sent him another.

Yep. Probably have bought just as much stuff on the site from the affiliated used booksellers than the main amazon warehouse.

I'll buy a CD or a book from Amazon, but that's about it.

Dr. J is a huge fan of ABE. He shops there when he gets some spare change.
I shop on amazon a ton, in fact I just got Dr. J's Valentine's Day present from amazon on Sunday. Picked up a book for myself too.

I did one time, and was impressed with the service. The book I ordered (I actually ordered two) was delayed in getting to them, and they kept me up to date on the detail. At the risk of sounding like I'm giving Ebay rep, I highly recommend.
