They must have turned off the redirect sometime in the past few years. diapers.com also used to land on amazon.com :)

Gotta hedge your bets, but I'm glad that I don't shop at diapers.com.

IIRC amazon bought-out diapers.com; it was certainly some diaper startup that they are accused of using predatory pricing against.

Incidentally, books.com was taken early on (say 1990) by an outfit in Ohio. Pre-web, they had a telnet interface.

There are a couple of institutions in the Seattle area that have pretty good generic domain names, presumably because of the tech connections in the area. For instance, the Washington State Fair has the domain thefair.com.

Imagine the Seafair pirates or Almost Live! shaking everyone down for domain names.
