So I took some advice from this thread and the book I got today I bought retail at Border's.
On another note, I was referred to a book by a coworker which I had seen on Connect (Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything) and while I was buying that, I noticed that Connect had several new books by some of my favorite authors. (J.V Jones and David Feintuch, to be specific) I ended up buying a couple of those books as well, which I already have in paperback form. And now that I think of it, probably 50% of my purchases on Connect have been for books I already own. Go figure.
