Amazon Bookstore in Seattle

The University Village Amazon book store puts all of its books face out so that shoppers can see the covers of the books and not just the spines. The books themselves are a mix of best-sellers and Amazon customer favorites, and they are accompanied by a review or rating from the Amazon.com website. Some of the books are little-known titles that have scored especially high among Amazon customers. This is a nice feature, as it provides customers with quality reading recommendations that might otherwise get lost among the more popular selections. The prices for the books at the Amazon bookstore in Seattle are the same as they are online, and while it is the books that unquestionably take center stage, there are also tech devices for visitors to sample and purchase. These devices include such Amazon products as Kindle and Fire TV.
