Alomex, according to thestreet.com Under Wednesday's arrangement, Amazon will operate Borders' Web site, which generated a tiny $27 million in revenue in the last year. (Amazon's 2000 revenue in its core books, music and video business was $1.7 billion.) Amazon will get commissions for operating Borders.com and the Amazon brand name will be promoted in Borders shops.
