What happens when Apple responds to the Amazon Kindle? (Rexblog.com)

Fri, 16 May 2008 03:40:31 GMT

I must say, I’m beginning to admire Henry Blodget for his unabashed willingness to ignore any irony others might see in his analytical posts about Amazon.com, like this one that looks at Citi analyst Mark Mahaney's report that the Amazon Kindle could be a $750 million iPod-like franchise in a couple of years.

Murder training for cheap at Amazon (Nintendo Wii Fanboy)

Thu, 15 May 2008 20:37:35 GMT

Filed under: Sales Remember all the controversy over Manhunt 2 ? Now it might be time to see what all the fuss was about, as Amazon has it marked down to $19.99 (for today only). Most people who've played the game would probably agree that it's not worth a purchase at full price, but at half its cost you might be a little bit tempted -- if you're a crazy homicidal murderer, that is, or wish to become...

Overstock Cuts Off NY Affiliates Over NY's Amazon Sales Tax Law (Techdirt)

Thu, 15 May 2008 18:57:31 GMT

Last month we wrote about how New York was changing a law to try to force Amazon to collect and pay sales tax in New York by defining any affiliate in the state as being an Amazon point of presence. This is a clear perversion of the intention of the law that only requires collecting sales tax if the company has a physical presence in the state. While Amazon is now fighting this law in court , others...

Amazon intelligently picks delivery mode based on address (Peter Parkes)

I have to confess to being a bit of an Amazon Prime addict — whatever the magic is, it makes impulse shopping disturbingly easy. It occurred to me recently that Amazon (in the UK at least) must be able to distinguish between residential and business addresses, and that this is reflected in their delivery service choice. [...]
