    A day in the life of an Amazon.co.uk order

    I thought this photostory from silicon.com was fairly interesting, even if the Amazon.co.uk warehouse isn’t quite at fascinating as Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. In fact, it seems pretty dull. But it’s good to know that behind the veneer of a highly technological company, this is still a pretty simple operation, with guys wandering round picking books off shelves.
