This takes "Look Inside" to a whole new level.
It's a neat idea, and a good way to put a public face on their business.
The major reason I'd still prefer to shop online is the reviews. I doubt that those are printed alongside the physical copies. Sure, I could read the reviews on my phone - but why not then finish my one-click "Buy" instead of walking all the way to a store just to look at my phone screen?
I hope that their employees are treated better than those in the warehouses, too. (from what I've heard, it's pretty bad behind the scenes).
- anindyabd 11y agoAccording to the article, even though you can't see all the reviews, you can see at least one review or a rating: "Below each book on the shelf is a card with either a review or a rating from the site."

- sib 11y agoPossibly, but given (1) everything in the store is highly rated and (2) they're as much as asking customers to "showroom" and check for more information on Amazon.com, it seems like that would backfire pretty quickly.
