A snippet:

“12.) Decide to read a book. Go to amazon.com and browse titles. Click on The Hemmingses of Monticello, which I really should read (which I could not say of articles about the Real World). Click again to get “read more” about title. Suddenly, receive a screen thanking me for purchasing the book. Become panicked. At bottom of the screen is a link: “If you ordered this book in error please click here.” Click.

13.) Try to check email. Crap! Get up and go to computer to check email. See refund has been processed.

14.) Do more book browsing. Buy three more books by accident. Realize I have been clicking  “BUY” when I am impatiently trying to go back to main page. Learn to wait longer for screen to do its little dance before I hit another button.

15.) Wonder if I have any new email.

16.) Look for academic book I need to read for research project. Am excited to be able to do so on Kindle, because I can take notes! Book is not available in Kindle format.”
