> Glenn has said many times there is no way to turn a profit selling commodities below
cost. Online or off. It seems a fairly simple notion.

I dont believe they are selling books below cost. Some promotions yes, such as 50% off

Chung,

The cost of goods sold also must include fulfillment so sharpen that pencil and go from there:-)))
