Thank you so much! The kindness present here really warms my metaphorical heart.

P.S. And now I know you're not a weeaboo, jp. :p

It isnt some random anon buying books for people its the Amazon PR team.

I used to work for them on a rolling contract basis and one of my last jobs there was to identify major hubs of people online who were interested in literature.

We estimated that the amount of books bought by the members of this board alone every month is well into the thousands.

Like a stone thrown into a pond anything that goes on here echos throughout the rest of the web.

The user uptake of the wish list feature has really skyrocketed in the past few weeks.

>>	Anonymous 06/28/10(Mon)16:57 No.844646 >>844639 Nope, but over time more people will come out and say it. I was one of the first temps employed so was one of the first to leave, give it a month or so and it will be all over the old media.
