Keith, maybe AMZN will just raise prices to cover the commissions. After all, they have the greatest brand identity of all time (except for Yahoo of course). Consumers will never figure out how to shop around anyway and we'd never notice a 15% price hike in this inflationary environment. I know my time is worth a whole lot more than the payoff for spending a whole two minutes to save 15% on a $50 purchase. Hey, while they're at it, why don't they raise prices by 25 or 30% so they can actually make money. I don't mind and I'm sure the rest of the book buying public wouldn't either. Bob?
