Amazon Wish Lists

Man, I am really beginning to love Amazon wish lists. Not only are they super nice for gifting, they're nice for finding new items and keeping track of things you need to buy. I often find myself looking through Amazon just to mark things that I already own. Why? Because then they recommend things similar, and their recommendations are usually pretty relevant.

However... Amazon sucks at a few things. The first being publishing their phone number. The second thing that has really annoyed me about their site is gift list printing. Nowhere on the site is there a "Print this list" button. You can "Create a new list," "Delete a list," "Tell people about a list," "Make a list private." But you cannot "Print this list." Give me a css page, which has my items all put onto 1 page so that I can print it out and take it to the store.

However, if you think about it. Why would Amazon want you to print the list? They don't want you to go shopping with the list that was built on their site. They want you to buy from Amazon. Click right here and buy it... don't print it.

That said, if you want to print a list, the easiest way is:

-Go to a wish list
-At the top of the list there is a set of drop down boxes.
-Find the "View" drop down and Select "Compact"
-Resize your browser or something so that it all fits on a page
-Click Print

Annoying. But really awesome too.
