I also buy all/most of my books from EB. But if we had a good online bookshop from which it could be a pleasure to shop (and save lots of money), I think that would be a good alternative. Amazon was great before they put in that R400 delivery fee. Plus, the limited choice of books in SA is unbelievably restricting. We are missing out on so much great reads, simply because we don't get them. But don,t get me wrong. I *love* bookshops. THe EB in Hyde Park is stunning. I just wish they were better priced and with more choices. Is all ;-) @ismail

I Love going to exclusive books and browsing, Sitting on the couches and reading and eventually buying something. For me buying books is an experience i enjoy, especially at exclusive(Did i mention i love the shop?>?). I get discount vouchers cos of the amount i buy from them usually 10%. The only time i buy books online is if i cant find it here locally. I dont know, even though i can order online.
