Hi etechsupport,
Thanks for your reply - I've kind of gone half way, although from the work I've done on SEO I don't think it's going to be very friendly. However, type 'books' in Google and Amazon.com comes up top - we'll soon see I guess.
cscgal - I agree. I've registered many domains for clients (after advising them which would be best), and most of the time the one they want is gone when they had a site built before, but they don't want to speak to the guy or the company that did it, so register a new one. A really bad way of doing things, if you ask me.
The domain I went with is a unique name, but you can get an idea of the content of the site (in my opinion, anyway

). I'd post the name that I went with, but not sure if that's allowed? :o
