Hi All,<br>
<br>
Apologies in advance if this has been brought up already, but is there
any specific reason wikipedia doesn't use book references as a source
of income? Personally, and for many others I'm sure, this would make
wikipedia a lot more convenient, as a lot of times I'm looking up the
same books I buy on Amazon as topics I'm looking up on wikipedia. For
example, I recently bought Proofs From The Book, referenced here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schroeder-Bernstein_theorem">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schroeder-Bernstein_theorem</a><br>
<br>
Had there been a direct link, I would have saved myself about 10
seconds of opening an Amazon tab and searching for the book, and made
Wikipedia a buck or two.<br>
<br>
It would also make good sense for there to be a strong correlation
between repeat customers on Amazon and frequent visitors on wikipedia
(I know I am both...).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Andrey<br>
