Kis, I don't care if walmart had the biggest book giveaway in the history of books and marked books down 50% across the board, could they do 300mm in book business in a quarter in their first few years of business, or even their first decade. That was my point. People forget that Amazon woke up the entire book industry. Books are totally stagnant in terms of market.

It is giving away 1 dollar bills for 90 cents, at the expense of the public shareholder.

How so? I don't see gross margins underwater.
