Do the rest of you prefer to shop around, or purchase from barnes and noble? |
To go back to the original post, yes, I also love the ability to shop around - particularly because I have somewhat "unique" issues related to living in a non-English speaking country while being a native anglophone with ties to both the US and UK.
One small caveat, though, with Inkmesh. It's great for determining where titles are available and in what formats, but I've found that their pricing information isn't always accurate. Lately, they've been showing almost all titles available at Waterstones as costing $20 or more - probably some glitch in their currency translation software or something. When I check the Waterstones site, the price in sterling converts to far, far less than what Inkmesh quoted. But checking out the individual sites is part of the "thrill of the chase" for us die-hard bargain hunters.
Cheers,
