Todd, I'm in BNBN long-term... Being new to bn.com as a customer, I can't believe how much better the service is as compared to Amazon. I haven't tried to find an out-of-print book through BN yet, but submitted several requests through AMZN months ago and never heard a word back despite all their online assurances of keeping you up to date, yada, yada, yada. On current books, I'm blown away by the difference between Amazon and BN. I much prefer to buy online as opposed to driving across town to brick-and-mortar establishments, and have been buying from Amazon for a couple of years. But on several occasions, by the time an Amazon order arrives, I've forgotten what I even ordered. With BN, you order a book, blink your eyes, and the mailman or UPS is walking in the door with it. Being an avid reader, I'm thrilled, and can't help but believe that other readers (which happen to be the most important group when it comes to selling books <g>) will discover the same.

todd, we all have to have patience with BNBN....their initial lack of focus and judgement has them in a rut now, but there is alot of potential for this stock ....for one, they finally handed the torch from len riggios brother steve to someone with some experience(Buckeley--TW,AOL)....bottomline is, amazon still outsells BNBN 10 to 1....thus BNBN has the potential to grab some of the market from amazon(certainly cant get any worse)....since there are no new book buyers for the most part coming to market, BNBN has to cannabalize from amazon and even their own brick and mortar stores, which i think they will do.... after the summer, i bet BNBN will hit 50....JMHO. mact
