Legitimately curious, but what about them is objectively "lousy"? ANECDOTE ALERT: I love how easy it is to buy a book from them, my new James Baldwin novel went from "read a review on another site, found it on amazon, ordered" in about 3 minutes, and the book itself arrived a day and a half later.
- dman 9y agoCarmack has a good recent example so I will defer to him for an example - https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/886229891720630272 https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/886229891720630272 I would expect a store of Amazons scale to do a far better job of categorising and searching information than what they offer right now. Also discovery of new books is very suboptimal in my opinion.
