Glenn,

<Their claim to fame was the use of catalogues and their high tech ability to trac what their customers bought. >

This concept of recommending an additional purchase to a customer. How is that different from when you buy shoes, the clerk usually asks "would you like some socks to go with the shoes ?

Or when you buy a suit, they always ask if you would like some shirts or ties.

Regarding Amazon, what idiot would accept the recommendation of an automated system about what to read ?

I think the next move for Amazon is to start a match-making service for their customers based on their reading and viewing purchases. At least that is socially useful. Sort of like the Rev. Moon and unification church wholesale marriage ceremonies. I think that would put their Nevada location to good use.
