A reminder about some of the competition: See it for yourself, they are all profitable companies........ barnesandnoble.com booksonline.com borders.com acses.com netmarket.com cendant.com virtual.bookshop.com books.com booknet.com discountbooks.com This is just a small sample, and demonstrates what a commodity item a book really is, and how many choices one has on the 'net.......They are all profitable companies, most with billions in sales.... AMZN now has a market cap of 2 billion with 140 million in sales, a loss for 1998 projected at $1.28 and no projected profits until Q3 1999 when analysts are estimating 2 cents if everything works out. For comparison sake, Barnes and Noble has a very nice website, name recognition all over the country (they don't spend on TV ads either) a P/S of less than 1 (AMZN P/S of 13) sales of 2.7 billion and a market cap of 2.3 billion.... ......what is it that AMZN buyers are buying anyway?..........;^)
