gdr, sales tax will put a another nail in amzn's exposed arse... I suppose. I really do not sales tax will have a lot of effect on B2C commerce in the long run. Amazon is done no matter what in its current corporate structure. It is not a question of if but just when. It has been that way for a long time but it appears the time is drawing nearer. Mary Meeker can write or create report and Amazon can raise another 3/4th billion dollars in junks bonds. That would hold them through 2002. I am very impressed with Amazon's top notch management. I just can't seem to ever locate an experinced retailer in the management ranks. That is so strange for a retailing firm. Did you see the size of the US market share Wal-Mart now has in groceries? I can't recall a time in US history in which one retailer was so dominiant. Sears comes to mind in the 1960s but they were "only" at about 28% in market share in general. That was excluding food.
