Call me old fashioned but I prefer the brick & mortar experience by a long 
shot.  (I'm also a former Amazon.com associate that has chosen to no 
longer patronize them based on their shady tactics used to weasel out of 
paying full commission to associates).

On the upside, I've found a wonderful store near me that has a large 
double-sided aisle full of computer books that are a little longer in 
tooth and marked down to the neighborhood of $5.  Sometimes their only 
fault is being one generation removed from the current revision.  It's 
been a great way for me to expand my library with books that are still 
*mostly* relevant.
