I believe that people shop at Costco (and their competitors) because of their lower prices.

I believe that people buy from Amazon because

a) you can count on Amazon's books to be cleaner (as in, relatively germ-free), and

b) one-stop shopping is easier.
I'm obviously not paranoid enough, not once did I think a book may be infested with germs

Not prepared at all, I'm going to be in so much trouble during the zombie apocalypse.

The other reason to shop at Amazon, of course, is that they have everything. I can no longer find anything if I try to sort by price but that's a different story.
