OC,

A few corrections:

And then we come to Amazon. A low margin bookseller who has a website, 600
employees, and a market cap of 9 billion.


Amazon now has 1000 employees.

And dont forget barnes and noble, with very very deep pockets (and no 300
million of junk bond debt coming due in a few years)..


I believe the junk bond debt is between $500 and $550 million. I would to look to be specific. It is much higher that $300 million.

Amazon has already said they
expect their marketshare to decline, and it HAS, from around 90 percent 6 months ago to
60 percent today.

We should see it being below 50% when Q3 98 is announced.
