Have you looked at Amazon lately? I went to but a book the other day and couldn't believe how much extra crap there was on the web page. All I wanted to do was buy a book not see information on every subject by every person that was any way associated with any word in the book.
I mean look at this: Harry Potter
I don't care about the Best Value
I don't care about what other customers who bought this item bought
I don't want to visit the Harry Potter Store
I don't want to browse the entire Harry Potter collection
I don't care why Amazon loves Harry Potter and feels obligated to tell me about every book
I don't want to read about a conversation with J.K Rowling
I don't really care what J.K Rowling's favorite book is.
I really don't care what Mary GranPre has to say about the cover of the book (she illustrated it)
I really don't want to hear what the Publisher's Weekly has to say about the book
I also don't want to see all the Leaky Cauldron Posts whatever the hell that is.
I also don't care about the statistics of other customers who looked at this page and what they ultimately bought.
I sincerely don't care about tags customers associated with this product
I'm not the publisher or author of the book so why is Amazon asking me to learn about making the book an eBook?
I don't want to read the discussion people are having about the book.
I especially don't want to read the (BETA mind you) Amapedia Community's opinion (whatever the hell that is)
I care not about Listmainia
I don't get the "So You'd like to..." section at all
And finally I don't want to give feedback nor see my entire search history.
All I wanted to do was buy the damn book. Now I'm tired... Too tired to even read it.
When I wake up I think I'll get off my ass and go to borders and pick it up...
Let's see if they have it in stock.. now that's useful.

And at the end of the whole process, you will get an email telling how the item is back ordered and whould be shipped within 2-3 weeks.
YOU COULD CRAWL TO BARNES AND NOBLE IN A DAY.
Amazon is the worst.
