Neither do I.
I stopped going into bookshops once I discovered Amazon. It was so much better! I could immediately read reviews on Amazon, check forums for reviews or ask questions and then place an order not having to leave my house, not having to walk somewhere, not having to spend anymore my time on the purchase. Moreover, the books were always cheaper. Usually by a lot. A typical hardback in Waterstone's was either RRP - £18-20, or when it was brand new £3-4 less for a few weeks only, then back to RRP. Amazon's price was usually £11-12, rarely £14 if the RRP was £20.
