Total Book Market in 1996 is $80 Billion. Tom, That was two years ago and the book market is shrinking. The cause is the proliferation of the internet by coincidence. The more people that go online the smaller the book market. AMZN will be selling books, videos, music CD's, probably computer software (my guess), and who knows what else by then (airline tickets, computer hardware, other electronics). The second largest cause of retail failure is lack of focus on the main product. Hmmmmm..undercapitalized and lack of focus. I love it<G> Glenn
