i would guess messengers get paid a mostly flat fee per shipment so by entering easy orders for small light items youre actually helping them a lot. what a kind-hearted person its a crispmas miracle

for books in particular amazon is just a front end to your local book store. they are part of the fulfilled by amazon network. speaking of, I was going to buy a book. I don’t have prime so the amazon price plus shipping ends up being the same as it would be at my local book store. so I decided to go buy it there and get it that day. thus far I haven’t made it to the book store all week and my package would have been here by now if I ordered it.

 Amazon will now let you expense a $250 Intel Compute Stick with a camera taped to it so that you can gently caress around with machine vision at work for half a week and then never use it again Jimmy Carter fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Nov 30, 2017 |

if you own a physical book you'll never get an email that says "due to some stupid license fight between megacorporations your book will instantly turn to dust on jan 1" been thinking of getting an ereader for library access, are any of the non-kindle ones any good?

the kindle DX was the greatest thing ever made and amazon are insane for not trying another 9" kindle w/ paperwhite also am I supposed to tip these delivery drivers at christmas; I never see them. I am guessing it's a different person every day? either because the routes are switched up or the turnover rate is ridiculous because they make a third of what UPS and USPS employees make

There's never been a situation where I couldn't read a Kindle ebook but I've had multiple albums removed from download access by iTunes, either in whole or part.
