I know; I was just saying that I don't think that everyone Googles, especially for titles that are commonly available (like the Emma example). Obviously if you've got a rare title in mind, that's one thing, but I really believe that most people will start with their favorite source before they expand their search into Google. (Maybe not around here though -- that might be a good poll!)
I'm not afraid of the internet and didn't meant to imply that I was.
I just like to manage my purchases in one place and given my interests, I have the luxury of being able to (sort of) do that.
On the other hand, since I'm over thirty-five, I should just said I'm old and set in my ways and not going to go over to this new-fangled Google when I've got a perfectly good dedicated store that I've used since the day I got my first ebook reader.
