As far as I remember, I purchased books, software and computer through online stores. I bought books which are not available at the book store. Buying Software through online stores is usually cheaper than brick & mortal stores. What did you buy online? What did you feel when you purchase products online? Do you have any favorite online store? Did you feel satisfied with their products and services? Please share your opinion.

I buy a lot of books on line, since I have earned a lot of free gift cards with the points I have earned on Gather.com another writing website. It's nice to be able to buy books for friends and family (and myself) for Christmas.

Congratulations! Free gift cards are indeed a good choice. People can choose their gifts according to their wants.

It's great to hear someone still buys books for presents. I do it too and very often but I never know if the one I gave the book to wanted something else or he liked the book but would prefer something else. It's said but true that people don't read much any more

I have purchased a few things from amazon movies cd's and stuff that I was not able to find in stores, but that is about the extent of my online shopping experiances.

I buy a lot of my books online. It's just easier to buy them online then to get to a bookstore and find the book that you want (only to find out they just sold the last copy the day before), when you can go online and find the book you wanted, when you want it and probably for cheaper than the stores. I usually buy all of my stuff from Amazon. It's cheap, you can buy from sellers if you don't want to buy a brand new book from them. They usually get things to you quickly too.

The only things I have bought online are various software which I needed... like Real Player, Limewire, anti-virus updates, etc...
I also pay for my domain and hosting service with PayPal.
I never bought from an online store. I buy directly from the site making the software.
So far... it has all been good. I always did get what I was paying for without any problems.
Oh... I did buy a couple of videos on the Net in 1999... because they were French videos... and the only way to get them was to buy them on the Internet. That was fine too... but very expensive by the time I paid for the postage.

I would buy books, software as well as, which was my latest purchase online, make ups for my wife. Strawberry.net is my favorite online store when I want to buy things for my wife as well as if I need a perfume for myself. The ship for free and the price is quite reasonable and sometimes they have sales that goes up to 70% off. They also give discount for repeat orders.
