Asia Books Website Sucks Too.

[Ulysses G.]

The Asia Books website sucks too. It is verrrry slow and often uses U.S. dollar prices.

Usually, I just give up before I can find the book that I am looking for, and if not, the price is often in U.S. dollars and different from the prices in the Asia Books stores.

Had a bad day, UG? It seems quite fast at the moment... maybe they were doing a backup when you were online?

Edit:

Ah, I see - your post is in response to someone else complaining about Bangkok Bank's web site being slow. Don't you both know - TiT?

I have to (try) to use it a lot.

70% of the time, I can't use the search function because it takes so long. When I do find the book I'm looking for, the price is often in dollars and different from the baht price in the stores.

Ah, yes, I remember now - you're in the book business. That's got to be frustrating. Maybe you can leave the search function running in one window while you get on and do something else in another? It sounds like either their database search function is poorly designed, or there are lots of people doing searches. I think this site sometimes turns off the search function, or limits the number you can do as it is highly processor and disk intensive.

Thanks for the explanation and the advice!
