I boycott Amazon, though I occasionally browse their recommendations. Bookfinder (http://www.bookfinder.com) is my favorite, because it's a metasearch site that covers B&N, Amazon, Half.com, and a bunch of others, and that way I usually get books that are much cheaper. I suppose I could sign up for one of those affiliate programs, where if you click through my link and buy, I get a cut -- but I don't really care that much, and I think you should buy books at prices you can afford.
Can't help you about the weight thing, though. Our new apartment is nearly full, even with all my law books at work and Z's history books at his office, and even though I made a 30% cut in the fiction when we left DC. So many books, so little shelf space.
