Kanji SITE Bookstore relaunched
Well, that’s Christmas and New Year out of the way for another 12 months - I hope you all had a good one. Here at Kanji SITE HQ the zombie horde and I are trying to shake some monster New Year hangovers (at least, I assume they’re hungover, but with zombies it’s difficult to tell), so please no-one shout too loudly for the next few hours. Thank you.
It hasn’t all been party party party, though. My undead workforce and I have been busy getting the site in order. Last week’s assignment was to get the bookstore sorted out, as many of the links and reviews were somewhat out of date. I’ve increased the number of categories and items and made sure that the older, out-of-print titles are replaced with newer editions or alternative titles.
The Kanji SITE Bookstore is run in association with Amazon. I’ve set up three separate ministores: one with Amazon.com, one with Amazon.co.uk and one with Amazon.co.jp, in order to give as many of you a chance of avoiding international shipping fees as possible.
The Kanji SITE receives a small commission (about 5%) on all sales via the store, which I put towards hosting costs (and the occasional trip to the cinema for the zombies; motivating the undead can be hard work - they literally have nothing to live for, after all). So a big thank you to anyone who chooses to support the site this way - it’s much appreciated.
If anyone notices any problems with the new-look bookstore over the next few days, please let me know via the comments below (or the main feedback form, if you prefer). Amazon say this new “aStore” interface is only just out of beta, and I’ve noticed some glitches on the admin side of the Japanese one in particular, but the customer side of things looks ok so far.
More updates to follow soon - have a groovy New Year’s Day.
