*The Forum Rules.

Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.

1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic, sockpuppet, or link to irrelevant and non-Squidoo sites (includes signatures).
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Amazon isn't just for books

Remember, the Amazon modules isn't just for books - it's for anything that can be found within the gargantuan website. List your games, electronics, kitchenware, movies, or whatever catches your fancy. The pictures are a very welcome change to the text chunks and provide a good flow for your lens.

Re: Amazon isn't just for books

Good call! Check out this lens -- http://www.squidoo.com/fondue -- for a good example of a non-book Amazon module.

Re: Amazon isn't just for books

BTW, I just want to say this is great advice. I've added software to my design lens, and art supplies to my illustration lens (Amazon has pens and pencils, who knew?).

Re: Amazon isn't just for books

I think the only things I CAN'T find are motor vehicles and real estate. It just about covers everything else.

Re: Amazon isn't just for books

I went looking to see what else they might not sell but came up empty handed. Or maybe it could be considered full handed, seeing that all the items were available. Including the kitchen sink.

Re: Amazon isn't just for books

Look deeper, I think there's still a few uncovered niches.
Look ahead, there might be a few things people will be clamoring for in the near future.
Look back, how about some retros?
