Up until a few years ago, I had never really been into downloading music. Seriously – I was so old school. Give me one of those little radio-tuner players that look like a memory stick and I’m good to go. However, one night I was sitting at the computer and came across one of the [...]

There’s not many things in life that I ardently desire from a materialistic point of view but the Amazon Kindle is definately one of them. I am a huge reader and the thought of putting my enormous library onto it and carrying it around with me in my pocket is just something that I really [...]

You know the old stereotype I’m sure – a Scotsman is careful with his money. A Scotsman loves a bargain. Well that is especially true with me. I hate to overspend and if you want to make me happy, give me a good deal on something. Especially on books. I love buying books (to the [...]

Amazon has entered the ring of online payment services which will compete directly with PayPal and Google Checkout. Amazon’s new service is called Amazon Checkout. Surprised? I’m not!

As someone who has been on the hunt for an obscure product for some time now I know the power that Amazon Watcher can wield. My 8 month old daughter has been eating an Israeli cereal by a brand called Taami. I was always able to buy it in the store around my neighborhood in [...]
