I have time to read; no students are waiting
or lectures have to be prepared. After watching on TV a documentary
about Evgeny Morozov's book Net Delusion, I wanted to buy the book.
Checking the Selexyz bookshops online, showed that the book was
available in Utrecht and Amsterdam, but not in my hometown, Arnhem. I
wanted the book immediately, and phoned the local Selexyz bookshop asking
whether they could ask for sending a copy to Arnhem. A disaster: they
could not find the book in their own database. They would phone me
back. After an hour the message was 'I can ordered it for you and you
will have it next week'.
Well, I can do that myself and better.
Amazon's website informed me that the book could be sent in about a week. Though
there was also an e-book version available. Never tried that, but
being a customer I had already bought a copy before I knew I did....that is
the one-click order system.
