>> Has anyone bought a book from Amazon? <<

I tried once, but they wanted $14 US for shipping and handling to
Canada, delivery 7 to 14 days, for heaven sakes!

I went to the Internet bookstore, who charged me a $3.50 or so and I got the book within three days of ordering...

(Yes, Amazon international sales model stinks!).

Having said that, I do think this guys are going to be succesful. Not having inventory (see the other Amazon forum in SI), or having bad foreign sales is not going to break them.
