I have many reasons I use Amazon; none of which have anything to do with being an Amazon lover or apologist (as so many people are quick to label people who don't despise anything and everything about Amazon by default). The two big ones are:
1) When it comes to retail; I am 45 minutes to an hour's drive away from everything except a grocer, a drugstore, and a Dollar General. So considering fuel and auto maintenance, buying stuff online (and I don't buy groceries or drugs online) is more cost effective and a much better use of my time. Lazy? I'll let others quibble over that definition.

Yeah, number 1 is a big deal deal for me as well. Even Walmart is a 25-30 minute drive from my house. With Amazon, I get things the very next day and even if order early enough the same day. When someone builds a better mouse trap then people will come. Lazy, no, if it helps then think of the emissions that I am not putting into the air by driving to the store. Amazon trucks where I live are all electric.
