I hadn't intended to boycott Amazon on anything other than ebooks, mainly because it seems like it would be a bigger inconvenience to me than to them.
But I think I will adopt a
try-to-buy-elsewhere-first approach. Yesterday, for example, I bought my computer upgrade memory at
NewEgg instead of Amazon, even though they both had what I wanted for the same price. If enough like-minded people adopt this approach, we might have an effect while minimizing inconvenience to ourselves.
I wish I had thought of this a few weeks ago. I did
most if my Christmas shopping at Amazon.
