Finnnnnne. :P

Also! Is there any way we can know for sure if a part of the proceeds go to you? When I went to buy some stuff, it took me to the amazon.com main site, and I just want to make sure some of the money went to YWS. :)

I think it may take up to a day for any proceeds to show up. But, since you should be redirected to the Amazon main site once you buy anything, it should've gone through. I'll let you know if it does or doesn't (we'll know either way within 24 hours).

By the way, I found out the portion YWS gets goes from 4% to 6% as soon as seven items have been sold!

Eek! Incredible! Is that per person or in entirety?

Also! (and sorry for being a nag) but I like to download music from Amazon... would it be possible to make YWS get proceeds from music downloads too? :D

That is so awesome! I love the idea!

Hopefully, in another four years I can buy stuff from it.

Also; I shall put a few suggestions later.

Thanks for bringing that up Jack. I wasn't aware that it currently only caters to Americans. I think I may go ahead and add versions for the UK, Canada, and Australia later on today or tomorrow. They'll be fairly similar, but without the YWS Handpicked section just because it'd take too long to add those books to each and every one.

Snoink: It looks like your order did go through! I'll go ahead and add MP3 downloads in a bit. I almost did yesterday, but I wasn't sure if anyone used Amazon to buy digital music.
