https://www2.mobileread.com/upload/news/2015-11/amazon-bookstore-250x150.pngThe rumors circulating over the past month that Amazon had a bookstore in the works have come true. ---Quote--- Amazon has sent out a letter to their Seattle area customers with the news that Amazon's first bookstore, located at in the University Village shopping center at 4601 26th Ave NE, is no longer rumor or speculation (you can find the letter here). Unlike Amazon's past retail efforts, which focused on vending machines, delivery lockers, and pickup/dropoff unstores, the new Amazon Books has actual books in stock on its shelves, as well as Kindle ereaders, Fire tablets, and other Amazon hardware. ... The books carried in the 7,500 square foot store are chosen based on Amazon.com customer ratings, pre-orders, sales, popularity on Goodreads, and Amazon's curators’ assessments. All of the books are face out on the shelf, and under each book is a presentation card with the Amazon.com customer rating and a review. ---End Quote--- The Digital Reader (http://the-digital-reader.com/2015/11/02/amazon-opens-a-new-chapter-in-its-retail-history/)

Are you using Chrome?

Chrome doesn't have a builtin RSS reader. Firefox does, though, and this is what it looks like to me:

chaot · 11-13-2015, 11:57 AM

Yes, Chrome. On Firefox it looks to me the same.

Unconvincing performance therefore applies only when using Chrome.

eschwartz · 11-13-2015, 12:15 PM

Well, people who often subscribe to RSS feeds probably know they will need a dedicated program for it.

There are Chrome extensions that can handle RSS feeds, including IIRC one that imitates Firefox's builtin handling.

I like the fact that Firefox allows me to use a live bookmark to watch a feed, since I rarely use them and don't want to install a program to do it.

chaot · 11-13-2015, 01:44 PM

Existance of Google extensions ..., good to know.

OT: I intended and tried so many times Firefox, but not an hour where I not realize barely a dozen of logic, the workflow negative influencing or optical imperfections.

And that postulate, Firefox welcomes the assistance of the user etc., all silly talk. Firefox want binding the audience, so the makers/profs thus can pushing itself into the foreground.

So far I have not yet found a focal point which would accept my proposals, not to speak of implementation.

Although not all my ideas are any good, a majority does. But the creators are too fine to listen to a quasi newby or the implementation is too inconvenient.

Anyway, at Google we both are already immortalized.

The Rss feeds work fine for me in Bazqux, my referred app. I subscribe to most of the forum feeds as well.

Are you using some kind of machine translation for your posts?

eschwartz · 11-13-2015, 02:41 PM

HarryT -- @chaot is not a native English speaker.
You do not need to use machine translation in order to have awkward wording in your non-native language.

So you do the best you can, and hope that others are accepting.

HarryT · 11-13-2015, 02:59 PM

It wasn't a criticism; I'm just curious.

And I have trouble understanding HarryT at times.

You just geek me sometimes and I require a translation.

Curiosity I understand, but I am not sure *I* see in this case that there is anything particularly interesting to be curious about.

I think HarryT may be curious about immortalized. It is an odd word choice.

HarryT · 11-13-2015, 03:29 PM

It's irrelevant whether or not you see anything interesting, Mr Schwartz; I'm the one who's interested.

Did I say it was relevant?

The fact that I didn't see anything particularly curious, is why I responded in post #8.
Apparently you find it curious, which is fine, albeit I was not aware at that time.

Let that be the end of it...
