Michael, >>Both AMZN and EGRP should do well. I don't know about EGRP but some folks think the AMZN business model is flawed. In the area of retail it is currently felt the internet is an extension of a bricks and mortor business. I was at a seminar where one of the Professors and a Consultant to Internet start ups from MIT was talking about Internet business models. He basically felt that B&N and Borders could successfully use the internet as an extention of their business but that AMZN would not be able to compete. I don't think any knows for sure how this will turn out. One thing for sure B&N and Borders can ship from their closest location or have the product available for pick up similiar to Toy's R US, which is an advantage IMHO. As always time will tell. Joan
