I wonder why "Pre-oder on Amazon" is featured so prominently, whereas I have to click to find "other options". Is there something especially beneficial in pre-ordering from Amazon? Or does Amazon somehow sponsor lesswrong? And by the way, is it also possible to pre-order from other shops that are not listed here? And is it also possible to pre-order in Europe?
Oh, yeah, there is no way I am going to put more links there. There is no other link that would even get a quarter of the clicks that the Amazon link gets, and clearly I am not going to put 10 links there. This seems like an extremely weird relationship to the cost of clutter.
I do not understand how having more than one direct link to a bookshop increases the average number of clicks necessary to buy the book (or the number of clicks necessary for the Amazon customers).
