We have a number of customers who buy everything but their SF on amazon at the moment, but are willing to support the store for their genre reading -- but these are people who do understand the economics of a bookstore, and don't assume that we're trying to rip them off; they also navigate the shoals of employee recommendations (we all read different things, so there's often that trial and error period where you're buying someone's recommended reading to see how your tastes synch), and have generally come out ahead. And if they hate a book, they can always come back and argue about it :D.
