Only one thing will cast big shadow over AMZN: the government announce that online sales are not tax exempt... Larry, If this model is so efficient, why would sales tax be a problem?

Customer loyalty & shadow of taxation... I agree totally. This Christmas, I did 90% of my shopping on internet. And 90% of that 90% was via Amazon. I experienced absolutely no problems whatever. Every shipment came with a new $10 off next order coupon. I had a problem with kbkids (1 out of 5 orders), 2 problems with barnes&noble (2 out of 4 orders), 1 problem with bigE ( 1 problem out of 1 order). Unlike other websites, Amazon doesn't list items it cannot ship as specified. Other sites take any and all orders. Then, 10 days later they send out emails saying "were sorry, we couldn't obtain the item blah blah blah." And Barnes & Noble - they will NOT catch up to Amazon. In comparison, their operation is pathetic. I think I'm hooked on Amazon!
