I keep thinking that Amazon is much more genuinely a non-profit organization than some universities, and doing more good. Unfortunately, when it goes bankrupt and out of business, it won't be rescued by any government or private charitable organization. I love Amazon. It's a reference source as well as a merchandiser. Wish they could break even.

I buy plenty from Amazon ... The Power of Gold, Puzzles of Finance, When Genius Failed, Against the Gods ... and earlier in the decade, Devil Take the Hindmost, Inside Job, Derivatives - the Wild Beast of Finance, Maxwell, Barbarians ... AMZN's failure will prove that a shop front on Internet is exactly and just that, a shop on Internet. B2C will then stand for "back to consulting". CMRC's failure will throw a whole bucket of doubt on very weighty enterprises. B2B will then stand for "back to banking". Even though I am a believer of B2B in certain applications, but not all players will survive the tumble, and therefore no particular hurry to stand in the way of thundering bulls on fire.
