Amazon is the standard by which all other internet store fronts are judged. They are leading the way. I would really hope not. Some of the etailers will actually make a profit some day. The AMZN site is no better than Barnes and Noble's. Borders is still not ready for prime time which they admit. Amazon is the standard by which all other internet store fronts are judged. They are leading the way. This is really comical and part of the AMZN hype. AMZN counts every person that ever bought anything from them as a subscriber. Customer is the term you used. Many of these people have never returned and likely never will. It would only be accurate to remove "customers" that are counted if they are inactive for a year or more. You pick the time frame but there is some period of time in which this individual is not a customer. To call customers subscriber is ludicrous. AOL has subscribers as does newspapers, magazines, cable TV, etc. They get revenue monthly until the subscriber makes an effort to cancel. Amazon's "subscribers" have to come back in the door otherwise there is no revenue from them. They need not make an effort to get off the Amazon subscriber list and in fact they cannot get off the list at all no matter what they do. Amazon wants them counted. Amazon will take all CD Now's business? Are you sure? Do you have a good reason for this? Sheesh. Glenn
