Glenn-interesting comment. I don't know that AMZN ever stated that their initial business model was to have zero inventory. I supposed many of the dotcoms did figure to conduct business that way. But when one is selling physical goods, and deliver said goods ASAP, you better have control of your distribution system.

We are watching the evolution of a new form of business, and I think AMZN is showing itself to be the innovator. But, you do point out a great point to remember, we are still talking about people moving goods, it's not magic.
