Amazon.com has a new feature for its associates that allows folks like me to create their own customized mini-stores. If you look to the sidebar at the left, you now see a button called "Book Store." This feature lets me customize up to nine products on one page and then create category pages (such as books, DVD's etc) filtered by keywords. It's limited right now (the whole program is still in beta) so that I can only have one customized page and one filtered page per category.

Therefore, based on some of our recent discussions, I have created a customized page with some of the Bibles I am currently using: "Rick's Bible Tool Belt." And I also created a filtered book page using "wide margin bible" as my filter. If I could customize this page, I would make it match the offerings in the wide-margin Bible survey that I posted a couple of weeks back.

Then I tried to create a software page using the keyword "Accordance," but all the bundles Amazon had said "Currently Unavailable" [Hello, David Lang!!]. Plus my test page also displayed modules from Logos Bible Software. I wanted Accordance, not Logos!

The ability to create more than one customized page would be nice as well as the ability to have more than one filtered category page. However, it is only a beta program right now, and for what it does, it does fairly well.

And of course, yes, if you order something from my page, I DO get a cut. But it's a very minor cut, and you'd be helping out this poor seminary student. So, thanks!
