>>Does it make sense to subtract out the sales in Europe? They are sales no matter where they come from. Book sales momentum is slowing significantly but the company has made a case that they can expand sales into other categories of products.

I subtracted sales of music and European sites to try to compare apples to apples (and did it very roughly since they try their best to obscure such data).

Of course they can continue growing sales through adding new "stores" (with attendant high costs) but I was looking for a "comp store growth" figure. All self-respecting retailers highlight this as the only honest measure of performance.
