Amazonian Hell... Part 2

One day after my first post on how after two months my new book still wasn't listed on Amazon.com, the listing has finally shown up (check it out). I'm sure my post had nothing to do with it but it sure feels good that my book is finaly listed out there :)

From my post and some feedback i received from it, this lead me to wonder... Personally, i get most of my tech books usually from Amazon, mostly because they have decent pricing, and quick shipping. But how do other geeks out there get their favorite reading material? The reason i wonder is because i am curious as to what is the best retail market for a book such as "Shaders for Game Programmers and Artists"... ??

  halfpricecomputerbooks.ca - Not all books are sold halfprice here. The new ones are 20% less. They sell pretty decent game programming books, old ones like LaMothe's, Game Prog Gems for 50% off. The problem with Amazon is that it takes a heck a long time(atleast in Canada). I have placed an order with them 2 weeks and the book hasnt even been shipped out yet.

  If I am looking for a specific subject I will go through some of the reviews on Amazon and then buy through Chapters. When I am in the city I try to make it Chapters in person and just browse through the aisles. To me one of the most important factors is how complete the index is since I generally buy for reference and can't say I have ready many computer books cover to cover.
