>>Amzn, has two chances for financial success. (1) They sell out to Aol. (2) They get every, proclaimed customer to pay them a $50-70 annual subscription, just to browse. I've been wondering about the AOL/AMZN connection since reading the Doerr article. 1. AOL changed their earnings date from Nov.5 to Oct.27 (so as to be closer to AMZN on Oct.28?) 2. They got permission to expand their shares from 600 million to 1.8 billion (to do a stock buy-out of AMZN?) 3. Could Doerr persuade Case to buy AMZN with it's increasing load of baggage (lawsuit, competition, etc.) I don't see the benefit to AOL. It seems like a Quaker Oats/Snapple kind of deal (or maybe even less symbiosis). Besides, AOL has arrangements with barnesandnoble.com and is benefiting from partnerships with Bertelsmann in expansion into foreign markets... Does anyone see anything in an AOL/AMZN marriage that I am missing? e.b.
