For example, the demon book was pushed back a month and then I was surprised to see it in an LGS. Unless Amazon doesn't prioritize pre-orders, I doubt it is them not ordering enough as I tend to pre-order most RPG books and had both of them (and a bunch of Chronicles books coming up) on pre-order months before the publication date. Anyhow, I canceled my Amazon order and ordered from Buy.com...I probably should have supported an LGS instead, but A) I'm a poor teacher with children and B) the closest LGS is about 45 minutes away.Out of curiosity, and while I have a Paizonian here, does it matter to Paizo in terms of profit where a customer buys a book from? I would imagine that you have a higher profit margin if people order direct, but does it make a difference whether it is a chain bookstore, a big online outfit, or another online retailer? The reason I ask is that while I have to watch my own budget first, if it better serves a company that I want to support (like Paizo) if I spend, say, $20 at a LGS vs. $16 at Buy.com or $14 at Amazon, I might try to spread the wealth around a bit, or at least in situations like with Lost Cities where my usual place of purchase (Amazon) couldn't get it as soon as I wanted it.</blockquote>
