Pre-Ordering

It's Quasi Friday! YAY! (I have tommorrow off...)

Discussion Question: Have you ever pre-ordered a book?

If so, did you do it on amazon, at a local store, or somewhere else? What made you preorder the book?

I'm curious becuase I never really pre-ordered, although I have once or twice. I have, on multiple occasions, driven to my local stores on the day of release and bought a copy.
