A good 50% of my 400 incoming messages a day are spam. At first it did not seem like a big deal just to delete them and then I realized how inefficient this actually was. Thus, I made use of Spam Assassin, offered free by my web host. As online booksellers a good portion of your time my be spent in your inbox, so this could be a crucial element to your day-to-day productivity levels. I just found a pretty decent link on how to set-up your Spam Assassin account, step-by-step. Rather than have Outlook automatically detect incoming spam, I try and keep spam off my local machine all together and filter anything marked as spam to a spam email address.
If you do not have hosted email and use free web-based accounts, I suggest Gmail. They have a constantly growing knowledge base of spammers and the reporting spam function is easy to use (also, they recently made it easy to delete all spam messages in one fell swoop).

Ringfo is a service that you can call to look-up an ISBN using the keypad of your phone. The service gives you customer ratings, list price, Amazon price, best used price, and sales rank.
I did some testing and have a few tips:
Just enter the ISBN and wait, no “end key” needed
Use the 617 number (the toll free did not work for me)
Remember our tool to look up on the web using mobile devices (free):
