I wondered why Amazon.com would not build this themself given the traffic they already generate on their website!<\/p>\n<p>This is a great promo as it serves as a great marketing tool for both companies but more Living Social (IMHO). Im sure Amzaon.com has done their analysis to figure out the $20 value. Probably most people spent on average more than $20 on a purchase there (we do &#8211; business\/management text books are expensive!).<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the deal.
