More from Henry: ``In our estimation, this suggests that Amazon is likely tracking slightly ahead of consensus revenue estimates for the quarter, which call for revenue growth of 5 percent year-over-year,'' he wrote. Also of interest from the Forbes.com article you just posted: "While in the past, the core books, music and video [BMV] segment has been the main driver of top-line growth, this quarter we estimate that the U.S. BMV segment will be less than 47% of total revenue, down from 53% last year," Rashtchy said in a research note. Hmm. 5% year over year growth and the books, music and video portion of sales shrinking by 12%, implying declining actual sales for AMZN's biggest and most proforma-profitable business. Could the margins be better in the newer lines or does this mean that even if they make the top line, they'll miss the bottom line numbers?
