In the 90s, Book Stacks (books.com, eventually bought-and-destroyed by amazon), in addition (or before?) having a website, had a text-only online bookshop via telnet. I bought some titles that way. It was pretty cool!

Correction: books.com became barnesandnobles.com, not Amazon. Amazon assimilated bookdepository.co.uk, but much later.
