For the most part this book is a very easy read and is organized very coherently - however, the author seems to digress sometimes by paying too much attention to certain subjects that are important and integral, but could use a 'lite' version. For instance, Chapter 3 is horrendous. Acronym after acronym really made my head spin.

I used this book for an E-Commerce course I've taken over the Summer'08 and loved reading every bit of it!

Given that there are incredible number of mistakes in the Chapter on Security related issues, but the pros out weigh the cons by a HUGE margin.

This book for me was an absolute joy to read, and I don't think I've read any book off late that has so much packed in it!

I just received the new edition of Laudon and Traver's textbook on e-commerce and think its just great! I previously used the 2nd edition, which I also loved, and this new edition lives up to its predecessor. It contains all new and updated information and is extremely current. Its so well-written that it doesn't read like a textbook at all. I highly recommend it to anyone interesting in learning about e-commerce.
