Amazon's has NEVER been the low-price leader -- try any booksearch engine
(such as dealtime.com or mysimon). Amazon is ALWAYS at the bottom of the
list.
They're best for service -- for example, their reader reviews -- and
selection, but worst for price. That's fair.
Oh, I also strongly dislike their sue-the-competition business model, but
that's just me.
