Amazon is fun to talk about because you can leave out reason and value. That leaves the rest of the dictionary as fair game.

<<<Why not buy Barnes&Noble shares if you think online book commerce has a great future?>> I think the fear about the land-based/on-line hybrids is that if a large fraction of the book buying moves on-line, the land-based portion of the hybrids will not be financially viable. Consider what would happen to their financials if they keep the same costs buy have a reduction of revenues by 25 or 30%. Best Regards, Tom D
