>>>wo Best eBusiness Sites of 1997; Amazon DJ: eMarketer Names Two Best eBusiness Sites of 1997; Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com Web Sites Honored For Break-Through Online Retail Sales.

I wouldn't consider these two stocks, e-commerce stocks. Otherwise any company that sells stuff over the web would be considered an E-commerce stock.IMO.

And a personal note about Amazon.... Here's what it costs to buy a good software book (The Data Warehouse Toolkit):

Stacy's (a great bookstore in downtown San Francisco)

$48.77 (price includes tax)

Amazon.com

$39.91 (price includes tax and standard shipping, 3-7 days)

-- a savings of $8.86

-- 2nd day air - add $4.95 - and still save $3.91
-- overnight - add $7.95 - and still save $0.91

Of course, sometimes it's more expensive at Amazon. But I was pretty amazed by this example.

Barnes and Noble would come up as a great buy, compared to Amazon, in valuation, earnings, potential earnings, etc. They have their successful retail business, and the "second biggest cafe" business in America, according to CNBC, as well as their intenet business.
Yet, Amazon's stock is way out-pacing BKS. Any idea why?
Would Barnes and Noble be a good buy now?
