Well, I've been eyeing for 2 books which can be found from www.amazon.com

Anyone had bought any items from them before? Any comments?

I buy some DVD and the box they pack in got amazon logo and sad to say this purchase was hand over to censorship board becoz it is DVD. But when I buy from other online it gets through. So I guess if you guys want to buy from amazon and if it is related to reading materials or DVD/CD, etc. then better know this...they are listed by censorship board here. :rock:

Now, if your parcel is too "suspicious", they will open up. If inside is vcd / dvd, it will be sent for censorship.
