From the article: "On the plus side, Amazon did open 2.3 million new customer accounts in the second quarter, bringing the company's client roster to 10.7 million."

The $64k question is whether this is a real number. I've bought books from Amazon but can't remember my login. Are there 10.7M clients or simply 1.07M? If I wanted to login in a hurry, I'd simply create a new account. Since Amazon puts a premium on 'ease of use', it's predictable that I will create multiple accounts. Once sales/account starts to slip, well, how do you determine the forward progress of the company?
