So was Boston Chicken. Oops, I mean BOSTQ.

Just increase those revenues and get more customers in the door! Who cares if we don't turn a profit, we'll make it up in volume!!

Amazon is worse than a low-margin retailer. They are a NEGATIVE-margin retailer. They are simply burning the junk bond debt to subsidize cheap books for all their customers. Perhaps they should apply for tax-free charity status? Ooops, they are already tax-free, since they've never earned a dime.
