It’s worse in that regard too. I’ve had to turn to Abe a few times because they didn’t have something, and I’ve also started to notice that Amazon doesn’t always have the cheapest price. Prime is useless for books most of the time too.

I really miss the days where you could get used books for <$1 or so plus shipping. Lots of penny books.
