If your choice of reading material is only available at Amazon, then there is nothing to compare and overpayment is a non-issue. Of course, it may not be available in Kindle format either and that only adds to the paperback totals. Edit- This is actually what I said. I didn't make an absolute statement. Quote:

Kindle books
Just saw on the news that Amazon has sold 115 eBooks for every 100 paperbacks. 3 times the sales of eBooks per hardcover sold.

My experience has been that Amazon often does have the lowest price on mass market paperbacks, but it's not significantly lower--a few cents, not a few bucks. I tended to buy paperbacks at Amazon only if I was making another purchase and needed to hit the free-shipping minimum. Otherwise, paperbacks were mainly impulse buys at BN or Borders. I'm a bargain shopper most of the time, but not for paperbacks--it's just not cost-effective for me.
