free Kindle and gross commericalism

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2010.11.08

I've added a banner from Amazon across the top of most of the emuu.net website.

If someone follows the link to Amazon and buys something, I get a small "store credit" as it were. They'd be feeding my book habit. And they might even let me save up for a Kindle. Mmmmm, free Kindle.

Overall, it's something that suits me more than does Google's "adsense". Moreover, I decided that I'd rather go with Amazon this than work with Google because they did something recently involving my baby business that left a bad taste in my mouth. So much so that I've decided to remove them from my life wherever possible. For several months I've been using DuckDuckGo for high-speed, feature-rich, and anonymous web searching. I'm preparing to free myself of Google's mail service and "Google docs". I don't think I'll use one of their crummy iPhone knockoffs.
