Actually, after looking at Amazon's earning statement, even VIVUS had better fundamentals than Amazon. At least they were already making money before the competition hit the market. The "multi-billion" impotence market would feature VIVUS as its leading cure-all. Now we have the "multi-billion internet book market" with AMZN as the "dominant player". A look at their earning statement reveals that all seven quarters (since going public) have had a new record for losses. As I understand it they operate from the third floor of a building with 150-200 people. 1.5 Million books is a miniscle amount in the sea of books. There are several out-of-print book sites on the net with 3-4 Million titles. MV BABER
