Amazon is not so cheap any more
I wonder if anyone else has noticed but Amazon isn’t so cheap for books any more. At least Amazon Japan.
I usually browse through books on Amazon and use the “Save for later” options. This has the effect of telling me of price changes since I last logged on. And prices have been going up in general. New books that I add to the list show savings of a few percent (￥66 on a book costing around ￥3000) or with a lot of computer related books 0, zip, nada.
Maybe it is Amazon shifting focus from market share to profitability which is good but it might also loose mind-share too. I spend way too much on books so maybe it is a blessing in disguise for my wallet.
