<<<Because of high marketing costs, Barnes & Noble's Internet site isn't expected to be profitable until fiscal 2000. Still, the company has said it expects Web sales to soar to $100 million to $125 million next year from an estimated $25 million to $30 million this year.>>> Unfortunately for B&N, at least some of this buisness will come at the expense of their core business. I've had a couple of individuals tell me that if I found a book in a B&N store that I liked that I should go home and buy it from their website for less money. These individuals also suggested comparing B&N and Amazon for price differences, but in general they said that price differences were small and that they usually made their decision based on expected delivery dates.
