Seek out the product website, pay the extra shipping to order right from the seller, buy the TV at best buy etc. etc. If you want other markets to be viable, it will certainly help if you put your money into them. I really don't see why people think they can't resist Amazon's hegemony both in the political arena and with their wallets.
