Look out, Oprah
It's the Amazon talk show!
With "Amazon Fishbowl With Bill Maher," Amazon.com Inc. is trying to blend commerce with entertainment, much as Starbucks Corp. sells CDs and DVDs alongside coffee to position its brand as a lifestyle. In an e-commerce twist on movie and TV product placement, Amazon will place links to buy the works discussed during the show beside the program's display window.

What is Random House whining about? What about when people walk into Chapters and read books before buying them? Are we going to get charged for browsing now too? I mean browsing, in the original sense, obviously, not web browsing. I'm such a luddite...

Rip out the spine, sell the pages
Easier to us as toilet paper that way. More on Amazon's new offer. I can just see myself hunkering down with the exciting last two pages of the world's great novels. Mind you, this may be a solution to the doldrums average book of poetry. Someone would do well to set up a site identifying the two good poems in each book and their corresponding page numbers...

Amazon growth slows in Britain
Hmm. I thought that with all the clear cutting and whatnot, the Amazon had become just a copse of trees in the centre of Brazil, but apparently it's grown all the way to Britain. (One of my other personalities, the one that jokes with my son, wrote that last and my Bookninja self denies any influence over its content and form.)

Publishers learn Amazon lesson. Sort of.
More publishers are selling books on their websites. Sort of.
"We can offer features, services and guidance that might be difficult for another retailer to provide," said John Makinson, chairman of the Penguin Group. "What we're not going to be is competitors to Amazon or any other retailer in this area."

More information you didn't want to have...
Amazon stats show how your book stacks up. Don't look! Don't looooook!

Shorted by Amazon
Amazon is now selling exclusive digital shorts by some of your favourite writers. Well, not YOUR favourite writers. (If they're your favourite writers, you should really just leave now.)

Never, ever, link to the Danielle Steel site again. I mean it.

Strangely, the engine keeps returning only one book when I search for "pigoon"...
Amazon.ca launches its search inside the book feature.

Is Abebooks the new Google?
They're certainly treating their employees like it.
Recently, everyone at Abebooks Inc. of Victoria knocked off a little early to watch Napoleon Dynamite, the nerdy comedy that has attracted a cult following among younger movie viewers.
Occasionally, a road-hockey game breaks out in the parking lot. At times, employees of the on-line bookseller abandon their keyboards for a fast match of foosball in the lounge.
It's a work-hard, play-hard culture that recently won Abebooks the distinction of being named one of Canada's "best employers for young bucks" in the 2005 edition of Canada's Top 100 Employers, published by Toronto-based Mediacorp Canada Inc.
I wish I were still a young buck....
