I did not know that there was an amazon.cn [More:] What could I order from them, I wonder? I have made purchases from all the other amazons before (.co.uk, .com, .ca, .de, .fr and .co.jp). I am tempted to get the Chinese translation of Gravity's Rainbow... but, not knowing a word of the language, I guess music would be a better choice.
Wow! The world's largest retailer of censored books!

I bet you could get free local pick up from the factory down the street.

I bought a couple of technical text books for grad school through Amazon and ended up with the Chinese versions somehow. I was going to return them but I liked them better. The en_US versions were big heavy hardbacks but the Chinese ones were smaller soft cover with onion paper so they fit better in my pack and were easier to read on the bus. All of the text in the books was in English except for the covers and the first few pages.
