- pkaler 18y agoThat's a bad thing? I love Delicious Library. Stuff like the bookshelf, coverflow, and seeing a visual representation of items does actually have value.
- mechanical_fish 18y agoYeah, that's obviously the source of their mistake. The problem, though, is that Delicious Library is designed to solve a completely different problem. Delicious Library can afford to lead off with a beautiful display of the covers of my books because I don't need to see an information-dense, quick-loading set of prices, reviews, popularity indexes, and text samples for books that I already own. In fact, the last thing I want to see when I launch Delicious Library is a detailed page of data which summarizes how much I overpaid for my books, or how crappy my taste is compared to the average. What I really want from Delicious Library is a big screenful of my stuff that looks good and makes me feel proud of my collection. I'm sure that Borders executives feel the same way. Now they can look at their website and be confident that, by god, they've got great taste in books, designers, and photographers!
