William, I think Glenn was referring to the following comment by Bezos which occurs after the one you quoted: >>By contrast, the sprawling geography of the United States meant standard delivery times of several days, compared to overnight in much of Europe, Bezos said. ``It will turn out in the long term that the U.S. is the worst country for e-commerce,'' Bezos said.<< dailynews.yahoo.com Jerry

How's that saying that the home market isn't good? You need to remember this is Bezos talk. It is not pure english but a version of what he is trying to say. You need to read into it the obvious that the US market has not done well but the fault does not lie with Amazon but with the geography of the US. This is the start of a way to sell more junk bonds to raise cash for distribution centers in Europe. Europe is better and Amazon will be very succesful with another billion or two for distribution centers there because it is a better market than the US. Watch the trend. I have seen it for years;-)
