That is it. We aren't just on line because we want to be. It is also because we have to be.
I lived in a much smaller town than I do now, and I know how that goes. You had to drive 120~ miles in either direction on the interstate to hit a city with an actual bookstore. Heck, we didn't even have a Wal-Mart. The books that we did have available for purchase were on the tiny racks at the grocery store, some maybe in the pawn shops.

I pretty much had to hope I could find whatever it was online, or else it was a day-trip to the city to do some real shopping.
