It looks and feels like traditional bookstores, but it's a little more complicated. And folks who aren't digitally savvy may end up paying more as a result.
The store, which carries 3,000 book titles, is located at the Time Warner Center in Manhattan (conveniently the same building as CNN's office). It also carries Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) tech products, like the Echo and Kindle, for shoppers to try out and buy.
All of the books face outwards, so customers get a good look at the cover. Signs underneath each book display the number of stars it's received on Amazon.com and how many reviews it has. But there isn't a price listed, which is intentional. The cost varies depending on whether or not you're a member of Amazon Prime.
Using the Prime app, shoppers can scan the book's cover to see the price in the store. (Prime memberships cost $99 a year.) Non-Prime members pay the book's list price (found on the book itself) -- which is often not cheap.
