I saw an article about Zoomii on Ars Technica today.

It is strange to get a view of Amazon that is so simple and yet shows how different the online vs book store experience really is. Most of the time I end of up at Amazon looking for something pretty specific. For example, I hear a cool interview on NPR and then go get the book. That sort of thing.

From time to time I find unusual stuff because someone who bought the book bought something else, and then I’m off down the rabbit hole. It is interesting that until I was looking at the Sci Fi section on Zoomii I didn’t realize how much I liked just looking at all the covers and seeing what is out there. (Notably it looks like Torchwood books are here stateside now :) I’m still waiting for series 3).

Now if only they could instantly teleport the books to my house…
