I'm also a book blogger, so add extra excitement for that, too. However, the features have a long way to go. It needs to be far more streamlined. Frankly, I've got a big link on my sidebar, but I won't be using them in posts to replace Amazon links any time soon. I would like the process of getting more info about a book and/or purchasing a book from my link to be as quick and easy as possible for my readers. Personally, if I were reading a blog post and clicked on a title, then saw the zip code thing, I would just close that tab and move on.Halahbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608414474680648426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18086590.post-75840750669428025192009-02-21T22:29:00.000-05:002009-02-21T22:29:00.000-05:00ahhh! i'm so very happy to have found your blog! i...ahhh! i'm so very happy to have found your blog! i'm a novelist and poet and absolutely a lover of books, books, books!Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699674732274478502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18086590.post-91181638211496395952009-02-20T13:17:00.000-05:002009-02-20T13:17:00.000-05:00Thanks for the info, Paige!

I think you guys are going about this exactly the right way -- your responsiveness and taking everyone into account bodes well for the future of indie linking.

Excellent points here, particularly about the competitive issue, and they tie in to our affiliate link situation perfectly. <BR/><BR/>Changing it the way we changed to the book info pages is something we're thinking about, since there are so many people affected by it: ABA members, affiliates, authors, bloggers, publishers--the list goes on. <BR/><BR/>We want to make the best decision for everyone, and do it sooner rather than later. For anyone reading, I ABSOLUTELY welcome all feedback and suggestions--they are essential!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
