If you think that Amazon books are to expensive and are looking to purchase books as gifts this year, you should check out a promotion that is going on at buy.com. You can currently get 10% off Amazon books. There is a huge selection of titles to choose from. You can even price match. Since I can't afford to get my sister in law that laptop she wants, maybe I will get her a couple of new books to read. She is quite the avid reader.
