RE: But the question is whether they can maintain the market share of Internet book market as the Internet expands There is another question. How much money can be made selling books over the internet (i.e will the market expand substantially). That is, will the market expand sufficiently for Amazon to meet growth expectations, and profitability. The process of going to Borders or Barnes and Noble, and looking over various books while enjoying a nice Latte, and perhaps meeting a few folks has a certain appeal that can never be replicated over the net. For business shopping the net is great because the ultimate goals is to get product a ASAP. For personal shopping, often times that is not the case, and the trip is half the fun. Not dissing online shopping or Amazon. But there are other issues to be considered.
