Amazon Kicks Barnes/Nobles A!

By: Brett

I like taking a trip every now and then to Barnes and Noble to pick up the most recent Practical Web Design magazine. I then find myself browsing through all of the other techie books that I should really read. I get about 3 or 4 in my hand then add up the prices on those bad boys. It’s usually always over 100 dollars. I mean 100 dollars is a small price to pay to help better your computer hacking skills.. but it’s still 100 dollars. What I have been doing lately is checking out the books I want real quick then once I get home just jump on Amazon. I can find ALL the books I want for half price easily.

Last night I had magazines/books that would have totaled about 130 bucks. I was about 2 minutes from just getting them because I’m extremely impatient like that. Instead I put them back and hopped on Amazon when I got home. Got everything for 50 bucks. The other awesome thing about Amazon, is their shipping. For some reason even if you just get the standard shipping rate, you’ll have your order in about 2 days. It’s pretty sweet buying something on Saturday and it showing up on your doorstep on Monday.. without having to fork over 30 bucks for overnight delivery. Amazon is definitely the way to go.

    I agree completely dude. Especially if you’re an Amazon-hound like me, you should get Amazon Prime: http://www.amazon.com/gp/subs/primeclub/signup/main.html

    It’s a pretty sweet deal if you order pretty regularly from Amazon.

    Cheers.

    Yeah I have a feeling I would buy meaning-less books just to take advantage of the sweet Free Second-Day Shipping rates.

    I’ll probably sign up.
