This is just a table to stuff you with Amazon cookies. If you click any product, you get redirected to its Amazon page with the affiliate tag. Understandable attempt to make money but feels dishonest to me.

- d2p 12y agoSorry if it seemed that way; it's not an attempt to make money, but be something useful. Products are listed regardless of whether they're listed on Amazon and I'm working on a tweak to show links to Google Play etc where available (I already had the Amazon code, as this page started off from something else). I'll make it more obvious there are Amazon links shortly; if I can make some towards the costs/time, great; but that's not the motivation, I started off compiling the table for my own use (I'm trying to decide on a CB) and thought it'd be useful to others.
- d0ugie 12y agoStrange, it struck me as an convenient. Why exactly does that strike you as dishonest?
- aw3c2 12y agoForwarding the user to Amazon through a redirect instead of plain visible Amazon links.
- d2p 12y agoThis is actually so I can send you to a more appropriate Amazon (UK or US) because Amazon doesn't handle this themselves. I built a script that uses your timezone to guess if you're near the UK and forwards you accordingly (this was prior to this chart existing). I linked the CB chart to it to avoid reproducing the same functionality. I can possibly do this in a different way, but since it doesn't cost you anything ending up on Amazon I didn't really think anyone would be upset by it. I just did what was easiest and most useful.
