The fact that I am writing too much about e-book readers is true. But none of these are any endorsing modalities adopted to gain some cash or ads. It is simply because these are going to revolutionize the book reading experience within a few months.

Who would want to carry the heavy and bulk books with them when 1000s of books can be reached from this simple sleek device? Books may still be bought for the honor of showcasing them, but the future is here.

It is now the chance for Canadians to grab one of these with Amazon introducing Kindle in Canada for CN$330. Books can be downloaded from anywhere as this device comes with a built in Wifi connectivity to get any of your favorites with cash or for free.

Who said ebay did not care about collectibles? Whoever told, it was partially right. But now they have decided to amend themselves. A 2 week long listing promotion on collectibles is just the beginning. Auctionbytes report that certain innovations are on the way.

Forum discussions with ebay to improve content, regular promotion sales and incentives, integrating external pricing catalogs, verifying authenticity, report item to report violations etc. are being planned to be implemented.

Community generated catalogs would be a new feature. Ebay tries to grab a part from its competitors like Wigix. But the results all remain based on the receptiveness from the part of customers who had been chased away by the ebay themselves.

Akamai and Jupiter Research had conducted a study on the online shopping retailers’ customer satisfaction. Some of the facts revealed based on the feedback of 1058 online customers include

An online shopper waits a maximum of 4 seconds for the site to load. If it does not arrive over their screen, the close button would soon be pressed.

• 
  
• 
  
• 30% of the dissatisfied customers tell their friends and family about their experience and ask them not to use it again.
• 3 causes for dissatisfaction among online consumers include high price, shipping costs, site loading time in that order.
• 50% of mature (>2 years experience) spend more than $1500 a year for online shopping.
• The research could be a eyewash by the company which sells over site maintenance, but I would rather believe these are true.

For those of you who eagerly wait for their ordered products day-night, a great option offered by Amazon is on your way. Selected cities would enjoy delivery of the products on the same day itself.
“Amazon customers placing deliveries within the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Seattle, as well as "some surrounding areas," will now be able to receive shipments on the same day they place an order. The service will be coming to Chicago, Indianapolis, and Phoenix "in the coming months."

This local express delivery system is offered for some limited products (but a huge number) and comes with varied pricing. Those of you, who already pay $79 for the two-day delivery system, now just have to pay $6 for this special offer per item. For others it would be less economical with the pricing ranging through $15/product.

The customers would have to order the product within the cut-off time prescribed for the city which could be 10AM in New York whilst is 1PM in Seattle.
