Doug, consider also that AMZN's Q was Jan-Mar while BKS' was Feb-Apr. We have seen other evidence that April was a weak month. In addition, BKS' promotion of .com has only recently been geared up. I was a little disappointed as well that it wasn't a bigger number, but 1 Q does not a trend make (unless, of course, it's a slowing at AMZN ;-)).
