Heh heh.
Actually I find most of Amazon's "interactive experience" to be quite nice. I look forward to the day when library catalogs have similar recommendation engines, etc.
But Barnes & Noble consistently beats Amazon in price if you factor in shipping, especially if you have one of their frequent flyer cards; B&N's user interface, however, sucks. So I wind up doing my shopping at Amazon, then searching by ISBN at Barnes & Noble and making my final purchase there. If I'm feeling sufficiently time-rich and cash-poor I'll expand my search further to include Powell's and Alibris.
I wonder how many people do the same?
