Customer service.
I have long felt that Amazon has customer service down pat. I love the recommendations, I love the "page you made" options, and I like the new plog feature. And, I have always enjoyed the e-mails I receive with taglines like "As someone who has purchased music from [bandname], we thought you'd like to know that [bandname]'s newest release is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com."
The e-mail I received yesterday, though, was slightly puzzling. Granted, I am a Harry Potter fan. And granted, I have ordered Harry Potter merchandise in another language (specifically, the first book, on tape, in French.) But this still seems slightly off-base...
As someone who has purchased books by J. K. Rowling, you might like to know that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Ancient Greek Edition) will be released soon.
Ancient Greek Edition? Is "Ancient Greek" the language spoken in modern Greece? Is it so named as a dig at the rest of us whose languages cannot be described as Ancient? And, if not...is there truly a market for Harry Potter readers who speak Ancient, as opposed to Modern, Greek? And, finally--am I somehow considered part of that market?
I could find the answers to these questions, of course, but at the moment I am just amused.
