Energy prices affect the entire channel, not just shipping. It costs B&N more too, plus they have the added energy expense of lighting, heating, etc. The e-tailers wouldn't be affected more than anyone else. William, I believe you to be wrong here. The inefficiency of home delivery will have a far greater impact on e-tailers. Most of the electrial energy is not produced by oil nor is oil used heavily in heating for commercial buildings. Glenn
