The ease of use is a huge issue for me and the primary reason I buy most of my books from Amazon. I used Fictionwise for years but with the tightening up of geographic restrictions I gave up on them in frustration. If I can see the book at the Amazon store via my kindle then I can buy it. Not so buying online from Fictionwise.
Often when I feel like buying a book I am at home and usually I dont have a computer with me and when I do the last thing I want to do is boot up, launch the browser and go online. It is all about ease of use for me.
For those that love paper books and are surprised by the figures quoted in this thread, all I can say is enjoy your trip to the bookstore or the wait for delivery from your online purchase. I will enjoy my reading while you are doing all of that running about.
