Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me how to use the following IN, ON, AT words?

For example:

1) I want to buy an English grammar book on Amazon website.
2) I want to buy an English grammar book in Amazon website.
3) I want to buy an English grammar book at Amazon website.

In my opinion, above three sentences do have same means.
Thank you very much in advance

But I guess the usual preposition changes to "at" once you add "www" in front of it and give the address. Find more information at www.englishforums.com.
I guess "on" wouldn't be wrong anyway.

If you don't have a sense of humor already, it's about time you buy one.

and give the address
address is the key word.  at an address, whether a street address or a web address.  In the original example the key word was website.
