Favorite Online Book and DVD seller?

[Mike03]

A few months ago I cancelled my account at Amazon to save money and to protest the censoring of liberal book reviews, but I can't help myself any longer. New Kubrick DVDS, new novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, too many good books and DVDs are coming out.

Any suggestions on reliable, fast shipping online book and/or DVD vendors? And I would prefer a vendor that does not require me to create a new account.

Thanks...

1. Well, use Amazon as a resource. Search the books there, then buy directly from the

actual suppliers maybe?

Edit: Well that works for me, but I generally buy used books, so there may not be anything equivalent for new books.

2. I use amazon to research how good a book it, or how bad it is

and then buy locally if possible.

4. Please support your local indie bookstore!

They usually can get what you want just about as fast as the big A & you'll be keeping your dollars in town.

5. deepdiscount.com

claims to have the lowest prices online and free shipping on orders... will do price matches, I believe. Some stuff they really kick Amazon's butt.

buy.com does pretty well, too, and I believe has comparison prices from other sellers, and a lot of things qualify for free shipping.

7. You can use bookbutler to compare prices from different vendors, but it's only for books

It's a great tool for finding rare books or good prices.
