Shop NoAmazon.com instead and sleep with a clear conscience.

John,
Do you realize that you're not making any "associate" money from this? Your URL's "tag" is set to "ubiquity208-20" and not "webwordcom" as it should be :))

MadMan,
Thanks for looking out for me. Fortunately, I am making money from this promotion. I only need the run the advertisement a fwe times and Amazon will give me $50. I'm some sort of beta tester for one of their new promotional systems. I figured a little bit of advertising wouldn't hurt anyone.
By the way, just to be 100% open, I also happen to own a (very small) number of Amazon shares. I meant to post that yesterday.

Or consider Holt's Uncensored list of independent book sellers.

John,
How did they notify you of your "beta tester" status? I wonder how I can get onto this profitable beta testing ;)
BTW, I'm annoyed at Amazon. While they offer free shipping to US customers, they double shipping rates for international customers. I've just bitched about this at: http://madman.weblogs.com/2001/12/03
Regards,
Madhu

Before I forget, have you tried out www.isbn.nu ? It's a great comparison searching engine for books. Not only does it compare prices across sites on the Net, it also lets you add shipping costs to the price. And on top of that, it also converts to your currency if you wish. Pretty cool.
