I see lots of points of failure. Baen's Webscriptions site moves the Selection step to the purchase point, and makes the UnZIP step voluntary. That's a bit better, but both stores, to my mind, assume too much technical literacy on the part of their customers. Obviously that's what Amazon's Whispernet is intended to address.

There's no failure, here, and fairly often (including this time) I've picked up the package before Amazon gets around to notifying me that the package is "lost." Folks who use post office boxes for mailing address have deliberately traded one sort of convenience for another. The package was exactly where I expected it to be, and I picked it up with the rest of my mail.

The largest Waterloo Stadium crowd in several seasons--6,180--was treated to sterling pitching performances as the Waterloo (Midwest) Indians swept a doubleheader June 7 from the Appleton Foxes, 3-0 and 1-0.

Both the Kindle and Sony eBook stores have serious deficiencies. The selection is just plain unsatisfactory if you're serious about books. But Sony seems to be completely missing the point. Good thing I didn't expect to make much use of their store. I'll mostly be finding my reading material elsewhere.
