On Shelf Awareness this week there is a discussion topic: What would be the perfect online Book Store. BiblioBuffet, SIBA's Nicki Leone responds:I think the problem with many bookstore sites—even high-end ones with money to burn for site development—is that they waste enormous amounts of effort attempting to duplicate the physical appearance of a real store, when they should be concentrating on recreating the browsing experience of the buyer in that real store.
Now I would like to hear comments from you.
What would be the perfect online Bookstore for you?
For me...
I agree with Nicki's thoughts about graphics for the bookstore. My blog has enough graphics blinking in the sidebar to distract me, especially if I want to peruse a book. I would like an online store to do that in a simple form. Maybe like online literary journals like Story South....Now her discussion on the wonder and mystery of libraries and bookstores is very interesting. How can online booksellers, myself included, accomplish that? That idea is worth exploring and could be the thing OBs need. Your thoughts?
