Sharing the love

Has anyone thought of making a list of people who are interested in Amazon's "Share the Love"? I rarely ever use it because I figure that nobody is interested, but if there was a list of people that were interested in programming books then everyone could just send to the list letting everyone save or earn their 10%.

Is this a worthwhile idea to persue? Is anyone interested in saving a few cents? I think it's worthwhile as enough people buy the same titles.


Getting tech books

Well, some people are still boycotting Amazon (though I see it hasn't been updated since 2000). But mostly I find that Bookpool has much better prices on technical books even if you do get a discount from Amazon.

I buy the majority of my books from Bookpool because their cheap 3 day UPS shipping gets here in 2 days. The main reason I like Amazon is that I like to throw in the odd fiction novel or cd and get free shipping. For new titles sometimes Bookpool takes ages to get any in stock compared to Amazon.
