Are the books written in the same style as those text flashes in the anime, with katakana in place of where hiragana should be? Personally, that throws me off quite a bit and I'd be much more open to trying one of those novels if I knew they were written normally. That's one of the reasons I had wanted to see a page.
Given amazon.co.jp's shipping policies, they're worst and last resort to get books from.

Kinokuniya is an excellent source (especially if you have one in your city). Also, nippon-export.com has been good to me. If they don't have it in stock, ask for it (especially with a link to Amazon) and they'll get it for you. They love undercutting Amazon on shipping
