Nice to have preview of music and film, but I have to admit that i prefer zoomii.com for windowshopping books. Zoomii got more books and a gives a better overview. Besides, zoomii gives you the feeling of beeing in a physical bookstore.

I prefer jQuery. It's the fastest growing javascript library. It's the newest javascript library on the list. It runs fast, and most importantly; it has a very simple and readable syntax.
