Back when Amazon first came out they were only doing books. They often had books other bookstores didn't have or carry and they were packaged with care. Nowadays any book you get from Amazon is usually printed crappily, with pages stuck together, cut off, or not even cut. Then they throw it in a box without packing where it bounces around and gets bent up. Regular bookstores now have good online platforms and if they don't have a book in store they can almost always order it. I know I'll get a quality print that isn't bent to crap. The only downside is occasionally they'll stick stickers somewhere that you're pretty sure the gods themselves super glued onto it.
