But unfortunately you pay through the neck for this with fixed ebook pricing.
Also, as I said previously, an Amazon physical store of 5,000 books or even less which offers 1 hour (or less) delivery in store or at home from Amazon's online catalogue comes very close to a physical store stocking all of these titles.
