Can you believe the stupidity at Amazon?

Amazon.com: Books: My American Journey

By publishers' agreement, we are pleased to offer Amazon.com customers with a valid credit card the ability to view copyrighted pages.

Your account will not be charged.

This one-time process enables you to view limited copyrighted material through our Search Inside the Book feature.

Please enter your credit card information and its billing address below.


So I go to Barnes & Noble and can read the whole book. Here I have to give them a credit card to look at one page? Like they're not going to use that information for harvesting my browsing patterns on the site.

Fuck you Bezos.
