1. I'd like to suggest links to bn instead of amazon

I'm trying to kick the amazon habit after learning bn is 100% blue and amazon is mostly red. I use both sites but order only from bn (and only if my local independent doesn't have it!)

[Richardo]

2. Good point, Hamlette

I'm a p/t bookseller at B&N - best moonlighting job I can think of.

3. The link I use goes through the DU homepage

where DU gets a portion of the proceeds. Also, Amazon has more reviews which I think is helpful in deciding which book to vote for.

I have asked if DU can get a similar link to BN but it has not happened.

4. That's so disappointing about amazon.com

Thanks for sharing, though. I use them all the time. But won't anymore.

How do you find out who's blue and who's red?

Thanks.

[Richardo]

5. Here - a very cool resource.

6. Wow! Thank you.

Great resource.

[CrispyQ]

7. What to do?

Because this poll is so close & there is currently a tie, we can let this run through Friday or we can have a tie-breaker poll.


Comments?
