The $64k question is whether this is a real number. I've bought books from Amazon but can't remember my login. Are there 10.7M clients or simply 1.07M? If I wanted to login in a hurry, I'd simply create a new account. Since Amazon puts a premium on 'ease of use', it's predictable that I will create multiple accounts. Once sales/account starts to slip, well, how do you determine the forward progress of the company? Wiliiam, The customer count is exaggerated due to inactives are not removed and I believe a lot are people that just bid on auctions. However, most people use the same browser on the net or a few browsers on different computers. Amazon places a cookie in the browser and so one really does not need to remember their password. I suspect duplicate accounts for the same person is the least of the customer account skewing. Glenn
