Reply to comment by nephelokokkygia in I created deAMAZONatorto help you find a non-amazon place to buy your books! by LordGnomeMBE

Having experienced living with and without 1 day shipping, it is very convenient. Specially when you are reading a series that has many entries and you can't just buy the whole series in one fell swoop, you can buy book-per-book as you read it and not have to calculate the shipping time with the approximate time you will end the previous book.

In some circles we just say "before 2005"

I mean there's lots of options for that. You could order one book ahead in the series as you're reading, you could pick an arbitrary point in each book (like halfway through) to order the next one, you could buy the books in a brick-and-mortar store, or you could just exercise patience.

I mean, I was just explaining why 1 day delivery is convenient and why at least I want it. The only better option would be a brick-and-mortar store, but if you don't live in an english speaking country and want to read in english, you are mostly out of luck.
