It is so easy when reading Ha-Safran postings to open another window and search Amazon's website for information. As far as I know, my local Judaica stores, even if they have websites, don't have all the information about editions, availability, prices, content, usefulness, and related resources that Amazon so generously supplies. So, if someone asks me a question that I can answer about books, I use Amazon to provide details. That doesn't mean that I am going to buy from them this time; it's a shorthand way of saying that the book exists.
On the other hand, I know we rant against evil big businesses. But my local Borders is open at night and on Sundays so that I can have a job and be Shomer Shabbas and still get there; the local, independent bookstore, was only open during the day and not on Sundays.
