I'm not sure what you're getting at, but that never stopped me from
responding to a post before: why start now?

I order from amazon Japan once in a while. Maybe for some of the more
popular English books, it would be OK to order from them, but it seems that
they never have the English books I want in stock in Japan, and have to
order from the US. Consequently, it is usually cheaper (and faster) for me
to order from the US site.

For Japanese books, they're pretty good. The selection probably beats your
average local bookstore. Lately I've been ordering from them off and on, but
I haven't had a problem yet. One thing you'll notice is they have no
software, probably a reflection of their head office being under the
jurisdiction of a fascist regime.
