>>I'm confident that in its last year Amazon actually made money on books, even after all those shenanigans about what counts as cost of goods sold. << so, the guy should prove it. i could care less about his being "comfortable." wrt business plans - there are bad ones. they are put in play by bad business people. period. this guy is splitting hairs. what he isn't saying is that amzn would have had a tiny marginal existence as a book seller - maybe making a million or two a year, if that. he makes it sound like great success was in their grasp and they lost it being knuckleheads. I argue great success was NEVER within their grasp. big whoop? but then, you know all this ;-)
