>>Where in the world are you getting ANY data to back this up???? Amazon.com (AMZN): AOL - Part Deux!, Morgan Stanley Research, August 4, 1998: Profitability: Operating losses as a percentage of revenues have consistently declined. Scale has allowed AMZN's costs to decline as a percentage of sales. Mary's statement is supported Amazon's quarterly reports. Sales and Marketing as a percentage of revenue for quarters ending: 6/97 27.9%, 9/97 28.9%, 12/97 24.7%, 3/98 22.3%, 6/98 22.8%. As I pointed out, Amazon's sales and marketing expenses (23% of sales) are a fraction of CDNow's (77%), and N2K's (107%).
