Yep. Because they offer highly competitive pricing and most items are delivered next day. Both are big factors for me in choosing where to spend dollars and Amazon continues to be the market leader at each.
The site specifies a base font size of 12px. The better practice is to not specify a base font size at all, just taking it from the user's web browser instead. Then, the web designer should specify every other font size and box dimension as a scaled version of the base font size, using units like em/rem/%, not px.
It's the same size as HN: 12px. HN looks larger to me for some reason, but I can't figure out why: when I overlay a quote someone posted here over the website with half transparency in GIMP, the text is clearly the same height. Some letters are wider, some narrower, but the final length of the 8 words I sampled is 360px on HN vs. 358px on that website (so differences basically cancel out)
This is on Firefox/Debian, in case that means something for installed fonts. I see that site's CSS specifies Verdana and Arial, names that sound windowsey to me but I have no idea if my system has (analogous versions to) those
What do other countries do for their stuff like this?
