Part of Amazon's success is due to their ability to make a name for themselves. Your definition of success is different than mine. The fact they have yet to earn a single penny conducting their business is a big failure in my mind. The fact that they have been so good at touting their stock in the face of growing losses may be considered successful to some, but in the long run, if you don't make money, your stock price will plummet. And when does anybody expect AMZN to earn their first profit? Three years? Four years? Maybe five years hence? Hmmm? Is Amazon's site better than Barnes and Noble's? To be honest, I don't know, I do know that Barnes and Noble has twice as many books and ordering them is a snap. So that's the only place I shop. And they have found a way of actually making money doing it.
