Tell me about it. The difference in spending is interesting. I will acknowledge that my spending at Amazon has increased but that is because of subscribe and save and the ability to save 20% on diapers, baby wipes, and the like. So we get a monthly delivery of the commonly used stuff and save money. It is a win win.

And my spending on books has increased. Mainly because I have my Mom and MIL on my account and we pick up their books. They are both retired and read a ton. (shrugs)

Then again, one of the reasons that people end up buying a Kindle is because of the book store. I would imagine that the same is true for people buying Fire's.
