What do you think? Tom, I know you did not ask me but I have been following this as in interested bystander. I believe Amazon is losing market share in its existing business to the brick and mortar stores that have come online. The stock price does not reflect this obviously. Glenn

A case in point is the company's recent release of early holiday sales performance, saying Amazon's business was 19% ahead of last year's post-Thanksgiving results. This really contradicts what I have read (and heard). Is this a case of lying with statistics or something? Maybe the book business is 19% over last year, but overall I think its impossible...?
