The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Amazon expands free shipping: $25 purchase is all it takes now Another cool Amazon feature: if you order CDs via Amazon, they set up a "digital library" from which you can stream your purchases (after authenticating) -- they time out after a while (quite reasonably), but performance on a couple CDs I ordered yesterday (after noticing the free shipment for >= $25 headline...) has been good. More smart innovation on Amazon's part.
