Customer Review: Anything But Concise--And You Reference Wikipedia???

While this book has allowed me (a person who has little business experience in electronic commerce) to better understand and appreciate the great influence e-commerce has had both in the U.S. and worldwide, I am constantly annoyed with the repetition throughout the book. Although, who knows, maybe it has facilitated my learning! My biggest beef with this book is its constant quoting and referncing of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and in my opinion scholarly journal articles should be used. Unfortunately, for me, that has compromised my trust in the authors.

This book is good if you are doing a business degree like me.

It is very detailed and contain relevant information. If anything, it is a little too detailed and could have been more concised.
