So, if this does get set up for England, then does this thing work for Amazon gift cards? I mean, does it work in the same way: so does YWS get profits from it?

Now that's awesome! I usually buy a few books or games or CDs or whatever off Amazon each month, so if you do add Amazon UK it certainly won't be wasted. =]

I'll just go and nick my dad's credit card or something, brb.

I'm a big music listener as of now, and since Snoink brought up the mp3 thing, I thought I'd throw in some music choices I would recommend.

Here We Go Again - Demi Lovato (She's an amazing singer. Plus, she's been an inspiration to my lyrics-writing.)

Urban Angel - Natalie Walker (This album pretty much defines what "urban" music should sound like, instead of the rap littering the radio waves now.)

All We Know Is Falling - Paramore (Simply rockin'.)

The Story - Brandi Carlile (One of my favorite CDs to date.)

And then, I must not forget books!

"The Distance Between Us" by Bart Yates.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
And we'll be a dream...

"Dee Dubbleyou." - BigBadBear

Please no more recommendations at this point. I'm still trying to catch up with the ones already made!


Aqua: I believe so. Keep in mind that this is really just a fake store-front for Amazon. And indeed, when you go to check out, you're taken to Amazon.

Mark: Good to know! I'll go about adding it soon then.

That's great if you add a UK version, I'll certainly remember to use YWS Book store from now on.

This is epically awesome, Nate. And I'll be expecting that UK version, because to order from America to here gets too expensive. Plus, I had a list of books I'd meaning to get =D

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.


I think it'll go to amazon.co.uk, from that post. :)

My life

And now I'm finally gonna start using my gift card! =D

It'd be great to see American Gods and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman in the YWS picks!

Purchasing textbooks has never been more fun! :D

Also! Add that Nonfiction section. ;)

EDIT: As another thought, what if you add a "store" tab on the black line linking to both the bookstore and the cafepress store? More traffic ftw!

Ok, added the UK version. Is there any support for Canadian and Australian versions?

Will it work if you buy used copies?

I agree about giving it it's own tab as well!

I'm not quite sure, Adna. When you buy used copies, you're always buying it from a third party; Amazon is just facilitating the transaction.

I say Wolf, for all wolves are not of the same sort; there is one kind with an amenable disposition – neither noisy, nor hateful, nor angry, but tame, obliging and gentle, following the young maids in the streets, even into their homes. Alas! Who does not know that these gentle wolves are of all such creatures the most dangerous!
