Brick and Mortar or Online? (Day of Blogs ’08 #16)

The age old question . . . well, since the internet came around.  Do prefer to go to the bookstore and actually feel the books, or does the convenience of online shopping distract you?

I LOVE books, and I love bookstores.  I can spend hours at Barnes and Noble.  However, I often walk out with about four times the number of books I told myself I could have, so it’s a place I try not to go to often.

Amazon.com, on the other hand, is probably my favorite website.  I can always find great deals, I’m a member of Amazon Prime so, I get things with free 2 day shipping (WELL worth the $75/year), and I have an Amazon.com credit card, so for every $1 I spend I get s free penny to Amazon.com – and since I use my credit card for EVERYTHING, it doesn’t take long until I’m getting free $25 for Amazon.com!

So, I tend to go both ways.  Which way do you prefer?
