Amazon is usually at least price competitive with the other stores (if not out right cheaper than) and the device makes it so easy to buy.

Almost too easy, IMO. I downloaded two excerpts today and bought one of them when I was finished reading the excerpt. If I keep this up, we'll lose the house and the kids!
