There is much more to Amazon.com than just books! Amazon Web Services “provides developers with direct access to Amazon’s robust technology platform. Build on Amazon’s suite of web services to enable and enhance your applications.” I discovered these services from ‘Woman’s World’ (no Website ?) magazine who mentioned Amazon Mechanical Turk.  This is a method of making money at home doing simple and common tasks.  The money is not great but every little bit would add up.  It may be something you are interested in doing or implementing with your company.  At the least it IS interesting.
