skeets. bamm, amzn, bks are all up strong today. which of course is absurd. this internet craze might just be a bookseller's craze. <g> but, question...if the internet is so wonderful and we get our information from it, are people going to keep reading as many books? if you think about it amzn is a contradiction in and of itself. it is like selling analog devices over a digital medium. If the digital medium is so wonderful, do we need the analog still? (just an observation, I happen to like books). but there is some reality to it to me. how many of us have cancelled our subscriptions to magazines and newspapers due to the internet? I find myself so inundated with information that I no longer take any financial publications at home. (We get a free synopsis to Barron's each week by MB.:-))
