Amazon.co.uk Review
Online shopping is really starting to take off as more people discover great web sites like Amazon.co.uk. But not every internet user is happy with the idea of buying goods over the internet and many who would like to try simply don't know how to get started.
Buying Online for Dummies will show you how to navigate the biggest shop in the world.
Early chapters explain how the process works and what measures you can take to ensure that cash is transferred safely. Then you learn about the hardware and software you'll need to complete online transactions. The book comes with a CD Rom that supplies the kinds of tools you need to help make everything run smoothly.
Later chapters provide invaluable advice on bargain hunting, including participating in online auctions, using software agents to compare prices for you and operating Usenet to help find the best value for money. You'll also learn about online shopping from the vendor's point of view, finding out why goods can cost less if you buy online, and what makes people set up shop on the internet.
Buying Online for Dummies certainly covers all the bases, and will give you the kind of technical knowledge you need to get you buying with confidence. --Sandra Vogel
