I can't underscore enough how important dropping that miserable $2 fee has been to my buying most of my stuff at Amazon instead of looking for deals elsewhere. It's so darned arbitrary. A line item with a delivery fee that repsented something vaguely related to the file size -- 75¢ for War and Peace, 15¢ for Winnie the Pooh -- that would be ok. (Free, of course, is better still.)

The $2 still seems to be on some stuff, but it seems mainly gone now. Yippee!
