If I had a local store I'd buy 4e from them. I don't so I ordered it from Amazon. Of course it's easy for me to claim I'd buy from a FLGS when I don't have one ; )

When I do occasionally get to places with FLGS I usually buy a bunch of things I know I could get cheaper online, since I love those kinds of stores and I think the ability to browse is worth the extra cash.

I don't browse and then buy online, if I decide to buy something from looking at it in store I buy it from them.

Talking about pages is neither here nor there. There's too much scope for variation depending on book format, font, layout etc. Better to talk words. You need to hit about 75-80,000 words to be publishable and for a first fantasy novel I'd say higher - maybe 90,000. Don't go much over 120,000 for a first novel or you'll find it a hard sell unless you have a fan base already from other work, either short stories or RPG stuff.

If you must think of it in pages then 75,000 will be about 300.
