Michelle--Imagine for a moment that DELL sold computers for other companies on the internet, and not its own. Then you would have something closer to AMZN - except that DELL would eek out a small profit and AMZN would not. The distribution system of DELL works for one reason and one reason only -- DELL builds to order. Ask yourself, what does a publisher do? The publisher supplies components -- like companies provide components to DELL. DELL does not want to make its own components and neither should AMZN be its own publisher. But printing is not publishing. Printing is final assembly -- just as DELL must assemble to order to make its model work -- so must AMZN.
