if amzn were a t.v. show--that would be great cause you would make some ad revenue. but...as an online retailer--the distribution is gonna kill them. besides--i can find things cheaper elsewhere---but i did buy a book from amzn once--it was cheaper than BN. but only once.

Seventeen million repeat customers think so. William there are not seventeen million repeat customers. Amazon claims there are seventeen million active customers. Amazon also skews the numbers in my opinion. Let's get real. Amazon is not doing well. Their core customer is unhappy with their recent privacy policy changes, price testing, customer relations. They have been kicked out of the privacy "enforcement" group. Bezos claims a cash problem is "hogwash." He is the only one making that claim. Even the slanted analysts do not agree. Glenn
