Techstore.com (http://www.techstore.com/) has a nice collection of Oreilly books at much cheaper prices (upto 40% less). This should be a nice alternative to Amazon.com, given the ban its facing.
A ban? What have they done wrong? This is kind of new to me.
Amazon is always getting banned or boycotted by some group, (I don't know if this is what the above author was referering to, but it is one ban (or boycott) facing Amazon.com). Amazon (in a nutshell) tries to patent and license the "single mouse click" http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/12/02/0915226&mode=nested RMS (Creater of the GPL http://www.gnu.org ) calls for a boycott. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/12/13/2353214&mode=nested It picks up some more followers of the ban http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/12/20/1138251&mode=nested
