Doug, I agree with your short on AMZN, the only reason it is not on my list is that my funds are currently tied up elsewhere. I hope AMZN waits on me. I spent some time with my son browsing in our local Barnes & Noble bookstore on Wed. night. We made the observation that book shopping was a hands-on browsing task that is very enjoyable. Yes we paid more than on-line prices, but we browsed 5 books for every one we bought and had interesting discussons while drinking great coffee in a good atmosphere. We concluded that AMZN would reach only a limited clientel and that it is a great short.
