Interestingly, BKS (Barnes and Noble) has been the exlusive bookseller
through AOL since March 1997. Doesn't seem to have had an impact on AMZN revenues (though perhaps it slowed the rate of increase):

"BarnesandNoble.com was launched in 1997 as an online subsidiary of Barnes & Noble, Inc. The company's mission is to become the premier bookseller online. The company has been the exclusive book provider to America Online's Marketplace section since March 1997.

Additionally, BarnesandNoble.com has developed an e-commerce Web site, which was launched in May 1997. BarnesandNoble.com offers every title in print and delivers deep discounts on all its titles in stock: 30
percent off all hardcovers and 20 percent off all paperbacks. By the fall of 1997, the company will offer next business-day delivery on over 400,000 titles.

Barnes & Noble, Inc. is the world's largest bookseller. It is the leading operator of book superstores in America, with 454 stores nationwide, in 48 states. It also operates 559 bookstores in shopping malls. The company also publishes books under its own imprint for exclusive sale through its retail stores and nationwide mail order catalogs. General financial information on Barnes & Noble, Inc. can be obtained via the Internet by visiting the company's investor relations Web site: shareholder.com;
