Is it really worth saving a few cents on Amazon while such stories keep popping up? I for one stopped using Amazon and its services (including the recent ones such as Audible and WholeFoods) entirely five years ago. I buy books from a local used bookstore or Barnes&Noble. For ebooks and audiobooks, I use Kobo. For everything else I shop locally.
