Glenn, >>I really doubt the market cap of AMZN will remain high. Comparing it to AOL is different since we do have a large difference in barriers to entry. I don't know. But they should not have a great problem to find money. Don't they try to sell notes soon ? As I said, The barriers to entry wasn't an issue in AOL. They were the little kid on the block. There were a few big boys already. AOL had to fight them through. I don't want to say how great AMZN is. But many people are underestimating their chances. >>We are going to need to see the numbers from BKS for all of 1998 before I would agree store sales are dropping. I don't need to see the numbers. The online bookstores are enjoying many advantages over the retail stores. They are cheaper. They save you a lot of time. I bought all my technical books online now.
