Wouldn’t it be loverly if everybody who reads this never bought a book from Amazon again?
Terrified that independent booksellers might get some tiny share of the season of gifts, good will, and profits, Amazon has just announced that anybody who goes into a local bookstore, scans an item, goes home, and buys the same item from Amazon will get up to five dollars off the price.
If you are really into destroying your community in order to save a buck, Amazon will provide you a phone app for this specific purpose. – UKL
