>>Barron's (Im pretty sure Barnes & Noble is Barron's largest outlet)

I wonder if Barron's has studied their own cost structure relative to printing and distributing their magazine versus its electronic web-delivery. You would think this company might understand something as intuitive as efficient distribution but we are talking about Journalists here so go figure. At least this week's Amazon jab was based on somebody other than one of their journalists making an attempt to discredit a model they have never understood. However, the short seller misses the point by 'splitting hairs' about whether revenues per customer was slightly up or slightly down. The financials of Amazon are ugly right now. Selling short based on some financial statistic that is slightly negative (and arguable at that) is really odd to me given where we are in the evolution of ecommerce.
