Sid said:Not against Amazon as I ordered the Horn of Moses from there previously but don't want to fill Amazon coffers if I can avoid it.
I think there probably are ideological reasons to be against Amazon. This article from NY Times suggests they are using their dominant position in the market to bully publishers:

Also Amazon UK pay hardly any tax on their 3 billion dollars of sales in the UK, as the company is registered in Luxembourg:

From the customer point-of-view though, I do like Amazon. Nice website, easy to order, best user reviews, well-packaged parcels for shipping.
Anyway, I have just ordered the hard copy from Amazon.com :)
