When I added John Robb’s Brave New War to my Amazon shopping cart, I was greeted by a new (for me) set of Important Messages at the top, telling me how much each item in my cart had gone up or down in price since I placed them there. Three have decreased in price. Five have increased. Not drawing conclusions from that, but I am drawing.

I will be really impressed when I can check the block to have Amazon email me when the price drops by 10 percent.
There’s also a message at the top that alerts you if you have already purchased a certain item that you just clicked to view. It realllyem came in handy when I couldn’t remember whether I had purchased that movie I told my wife I’d order for her.
