James, I can't resist taking a minute for this<VBG> Asked if Japan was to be part of Amazon's future, he said the country's expensive land prices and dense population made it a good market for e-commerce. How much does it cost to lease a good distribution center? "And number two, when population densities are very high, deliveries are easy and inexpensive," said Bezos, in Tokyo for an international gathering on information technology, which is a main theme for this week's summit in Okinawa of the Group of Eight industrial nations. I believe Japan produces no oil of their own. How much is a gallong of gasoline in Japan translated into dollars? He said Amazon.com hoped to eventually set up businesses in every country where it "makes economic sense." LOL. Let's see $1.2 billion in losses so far and still counting. I love this guy;-) Glenn
