Wal-Mart lawsuit, Bettlesman, junk bond financing in May, are all tightening the noose around scamAzons neck, but the hangman will be Lenny Riggio, Chairman of Barnes & Noble. Their business model is truly a work of art that will be unveiled and will signal the end to any of Amazon's hopes in the European arena.

I grew up with Lenny, and from the streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn where we played "stickball" together to the boardroom of B&N, he has never taken on a competitor no matter how seemingly invincible, that he did not out manuever and eventually surpass. I watched him as he became the manager of a one location book store in the shadow of NY University, buy out the owner and build the business to what it is today. It is not Bettelsman that Bezo should be concerned about, it's what Riggio's game plan is, with the publisher's backing that will cause the most pain for Amazon.
