Amazon\u2019s First Foray into Physical Retail —\u00a0While Utilitarian — Takes Discovery<\/span> to New Levels<\/strong>
\nAs a long time city dweller living in a neighborhood full of history, I had mixed feelings about the arrival of Amazon\u2019s first bricks-and-mortar bookstore in a city neighborhood (the first four are located in malls). Like most of my neighbors around Chicago\u2019s Southport Corridor, I prefer the charm of owner operated boutiques. Yet as a tech entrepreneur who holds Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in the highest esteem, I was excited to see how Amazon would reimagine the traditional bookstore given their customer obsession and their treasure trove of user data. Here\u2019s what I discovered…<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The Bottom Line:<\/strong>
\nI will still go to Amazon.com for the job of ordering a book that I already know that I want (and to the local Barnes and Noble if I need it today). But when I need to discover a book for gifts <\/span><\/strong>(Father\u2019s Day is coming up soon enough)<\/span> or for my own interest, nothing that I have seen compares to Amazon Books. <\/span><\/strong>We had an amazing experience and discovered more books in 20 minutes than we had in the past month or two.<\/p>\n
