   I preordered a book on some non-Amazon site whose name I've forgotten   
   a few months back, and now, in addition to the name of the site, I've   
   also forgotten which book it was, so I guess it will be a surprise   
   when two copies of it show up at my door on the same day.   
      
   That's the real lock-in of Amazon.
