It's basically only the online stores that discount; Amazon, B&N, BAM. Even the non-bestsellers in B&N are full price, again, unless you pay for membership.
Hmmm...I've never paid for membership in a bookstore, and I've also never paid full price for a hardcover book--not even when I bought Harry Potter books on release day. When I say "never" I'm talking about since I started buying books...which was in the mid 80s, so that was before any online stores existed.
