I usually buy at Amazon, but I have some gift cards, so I began trying to spend them.<br /><br />Every time I put a book in my basket, the number came up 2 instead of 1 on the checkout page. There is no link to click to change that. I tried various books o various days, and the problem persisted.<br /><br />I called the help desk, and the young man didn't seem to understand the problem. I sent an email and got a number to call. There it stands. I have the gift cards and not the time to deal with the problem.<br /><br />I've always found the B&N website hard to navigate anyway, so it's back to Amazon while I figure this out.Marilynn Larewhttp://www.marilynnlarew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-14950360446494272972013-04-07T09:07:53.275-04:002013-04-07T09:07:53.275-04:00I don't comparison shop,either. Well,if I need...I don't comparison shop,either. Well,if I need a book for one of my book clubs, I check with a local used book store first, then the two libraries I use. If I can't get them in either place, or I know it's a book I'll love and want to keep, I order from Amazon. I would shop at a brick and mortar store if they had one closer. There is a Books a Million store, but there selection isn't all that great in my opinion.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-45803668839429686382013-04-07T08:15:44.802-04:002013-04-07T08:15:44.802-04:00When it comes to books, I don't shop around. I...When it comes to books, I don't shop around. If I can get a book through the library, I do. If I want an ebook, I have a Kindle, and although I know I could buy another format through Smashwords or another vendor, I have one-click buying at Amazon, which is soooo easy. For a few pennies difference, I don't bother. <br /><br />That being said, if an author posts that a book I want to read has been discounted or momentarily free, I go right in and buy it to save the money. Between those give-aways and my library reading (ebook borrowing too), I figure I've save enough not to comparison shop every time I want a book. My time is valuable too.E. B.
