Buying books via text — a most bizarre idea
3 April 2008
I didn’t realise hearing about or deciding you want a book is such an unbearable feeling that one must buy it immediately — via text. Amazon Lets Readers Shop via Text Message:
Once a customer has set up their Amazon account to accept TextBuyIt purchases, the process is relatively quick and easy. And for customers who aren’t near a computer when they want to purchase a book, but do have their cell phones handy, TextBuyIt offers a convenient way to shop.
Erm, you could also wait till you are near a computer, or, shock horror whoda thunk, go to a bookstore. Amazon continues to cultivate the population’s slavish addiction to immediate gratification.
(Which, I reckon, doesn’t work so well with books.)
