+1 to that.
It’s so much more pleasant (well, when the shop owner know what they’re doing). I’ve almost completely quit using Amazon and only shop online for what I can find a local alternative.
Including for books btw, at least here in France, the law has made it so that new books must be sold at the same price everywhere (including Amazon) and since the experience is so much more pleasant in my local bookshops I see no reason to give my money to Amazon ;)
As far as I’m concerned, it’s the other way around. FF was there first ;)
