>> In particular, Amazon is nearly sold out of all makes and capacities of SmartMedia and CompactFlash removable memory cards. Why can't they tap into other inventories? << As far as I know, inventories of flash memory are very low. I believe manufacturers can't keep up with demand, at this time. But how long that will go, I have no idea. But in my own ignorant way, I'm holding some Atmel, and will likely buy more. Quite likely SanDisk has good prospects, also.

Does anybody know how Amazon.com manages the inventory and logistics end of their business. Who do they contract for this? I assume they have not developed a parallel infrastructure Amazon does not have any personel with retailing experience. It appears inventory management is all guesswork for them. They were fortunate to have Toys R Us to bail them out of dealing with toy inventory this year. The inventory mark downs last year were not all toys as was hinted at by many.
