Last year I put a

by

Last year I put a bunch of books on Amazon.ca, which offers a feature for selling of used books by using them as a go-between. I did alright, averaging maybe two books a month in sales. Nothing special, but since the books were just sitting around anyway, I was content with watching them trickle out the door.

Now I’ve put a pile of DVDs I never watch on Amazon, and they’re going like hotcakes! Within about 24 hours, I’ve sold four different dvds. I’m obviously pleased to be making some money, but I’m a little perturbed by what this indicates about Canadian reading habits vs. tv watching.
