Amazon vs other online bookshops

Amazon has the advantage of being cheap and reliable, but perhaps not the most ethical of companies...

This independent Scottish book shop - http://www.word-power.co.uk/ - has some interesting articles too :

I also sometime use :
http://www.pickabook.co.uk/ (free UK delivery for orders over £15)
or
http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/?a_aid=ajcairns (UK) or http://www.bookdepository.com/?a_aid=ajjcairns (US) (free worldwide delivery to over 90 countries)
or ebay for 2nd hand books.

From a sustainable development point of view, your local library is the best bet. (Plus lending to / borrowing from friends).
