Plus when we buy a book from Amazon for £10 when in (e.g. Waterstones is £20, there is a reason (and it's not only the rent for the brick & mortar store).

Every penny counts dear Maxxxxxx!

I shop at Amazon too because it's so convenient. But I am becoming more and more aware that companies who rely on underpaid workers create huge externalities for society. A polluter can also potentially produce cheaper goods but these come at a price for society. Same for companies like Walmart and Amazon.
