the UX of buying a book on Amazon is weirdly bad? at least the way I do itLook on archive.org
Mood -3 🙁
-
- search for book title on Google - click Amazon .com link - look at product page - change .com to .co.uk in URL - look at product page, slightly different this time, decide, yes, I wanna buy thisPermalink Look on archive.org
-
- don't click the big BUY NOW button, but instead look at the "formats" section - click either "new" or "used", depending on cost etc - click through to listings pagePermalink Look on archive.org
-
- wonder why Book Depository (owned by Amazon) sells books cheaper than regular Amazon - wonder if any of the other sellers are also owned by Amazon - think about what £9.90 + £2.80 is, and realize, yes, they're sorted correctly on the page - click "Add to Basket" on WorderyPermalink Look on archive.org
-
- leave the book in my Amazon basket for a month or so, until there's something I need to buy urgently - realize the book has changed price, so there's a new cheaper seller, re-add the book - oh god, that whole checkout flow, i'm not even gonna try to thread it - book!Permalink Look on archive.org
