I'm trying to move in this direction. I used to use Amazon mostly out of convenience and because they could get uncommon, hard to find stuff to me within 2 days when buying anywhere else would take 1-2 weeks. Now that they regularly fail to even get stuff to me when they say they will, and they are as generally evil as they are, I'm trying to get into the habit of buying from anywhere else.
I know ebay is fairly evil too, but I try to buy them from them if I need something oddly specific. If not, I go local.
