Judging a book

A post on LM_NET suggested trying Zoomii. From the about section:

Why Zoomii?

"Because I love bookstores. Spending afternoons wandering the shelves. Happening across great books I didn't even know existed. But it's an experience I never found online. Online bookstores are wonderful. They've got amazing prices, huge selections, and they're open all the time. If you know exactly what you want, they're perfect. But somehow I kept coming back to the bookstore just to browse. Zoomii is my attempt to bring online as much of the real bookstore experience as possible.
-Chris Thiessen"


You have the option of a Canadian or an American version (look for the flag) - they tell you it works slowly with the new FireFox 3.0 but I didn't find any glitches. It is like browsing a book store with the covers in rows and shelf after shelf of titles. If you like browsing this might be the site for you!
