So, Lets move on to my shopping first shopping experience with amazon.in
A little about Amazon!
Amazon.com, Inc. is an American multinational electronic commerce company with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is the world’s largest online retailer. Amazon.com started as an online bookstore, but soon diversified, selling DVDs, CDs,video and MP3 downloads/streaming, software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry. The company also produces consumer electronics—notably the Amazon Kindle e-book reader and the Kindle Fire tablet computer—and is a major provider of cloud computing services.

What is Search Inside?
The Search Inside!™ feature lets you look inside thousands of books and search through millions of pages to help you find the book you want to buy. Through Search Inside!™ you can preview a book and browse through its content like you would at a bookstore. This feature has been included into the Books search functionality which means your search results will display books that have your search phrase in the title, author’s name, or within the pages of the book.
Does my book have the Search Inside feature?
You will find the ‘Click to Look Inside!’ sign on top of the image of the books which have this feature. Once you’re on the detail page of a particular book, you may click on the ‘Look Inside!’ sign which will take you to the Amazon Online Reader where you can view different sections of your chosen book, and search inside it.
How It Works
Find Results Across Millions of Pages
Let’s say you want to search for books which have information on ‘intermolecular collisions’ or recipes on how to make ‘chocolate fondue’. Just like any other search on Amazon.in, simply type the phrase in the search box and click Go. You will get a list of books that contain that term in the author’s name, the book’s title, or in the book’s text. For each match, you will see the page number, an excerpt with the search term highlighted and a link to view the actual pages using the Amazon Online Reader.

The Search Inside!™ feature lets you look for words within the text of the book. To use this feature, you would need to sign in to your Amazon account with your e-mail address and password. Once you are signed in, just enter the phrase in the search box of the Amazon Online reader and click Go. You’ll then see a list of matches for that phrase in the book, below the search box. You can follow the links to see the terms highlighted on a particular page.

Pros
- wide selection of categories, as of now, books, movies..more categories coming soon!!
- fast shipping
- COD option is available
- Packaging is amazing…but, I feel, the packaging can be improved a little bit…In US and UK, this packaging is enough, But , here in India, Just the cardboard packaging doesn’t help…What if it rains…Our country has unpredictable climatic conditions and unpredictable way of handling packages!! So, I suggest Amazon sellers to improve the way they currently pack the products, i do agree, cardboard casing is quite sturdy, book reaches without any damage, but, Why to take risk!! what if the books are cased in a bubble wrap or waterproof covers before placing them in cardboard box!!
I have already placed two more orders on Sunday and I received them today!!!
Super excited!! Will update this post with those pics as well soon!!!
Oh I wish amazon to come up in full bloom. I was so addicted to shopping from amazon in US and UK..

I agree Shweta! Shopping online in US over Ebay & Amazon is real fun…I too hope they come in full swing here…
