That's a really good site. Must be dealing direct with Ingram. I've already passed it on to a number of my colleagues.

here is a website that guarantees 5% off both amzn and b&n...

cmpexpress.com

this all boils down to cash. what costs more. the books are EXACTLY the same. why pay
more at amzn?


Skeeter,

Very interesting site. Do you know if these folks buy directly from the publisher and inventory books? The way the discount and site works was clear. The way CPM makes money is not clear to me.

SB,
Maybe I misunderstood your post? Are you suggesting, that Amzn, is not currently, the cheapest book. If, so disagree! Thats my main point! They will all have fight, for market share, but there will no real winner because only the strongest will be able to sell their books @ cost, on the internet (best margins, will ALWAYS be in the stores).
The point being is, I'd rather be a book buyer, than a book seller.
