Both of us could browse thru Barnes &amp; Noble or Borders all day.\u00a0 But she rarely buys from them. Instead, she browses Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>There are some items that I don\u2019t bother shopping for at all.\u00a0 I just look on eBay.<\/p>\n<p>There are many places to buy books online. Ask someone, and see if Amazon isn\u2019t the first thing on their minds. Same with auction sites.\u00a0 Same with a lot of business categories.
