    Someone just posted the link to books.com  which guarantees to beat     AMZN prices as well as BKS. Well, how about another one that guarantees a 5%     discount to AMZN on EVERYTHING???.....ahhh, the power of the     internet....competition is heating up and they will eat each other alive, with no profits left     for AMZN and perhaps anyone, except those who can buy at greater discounts dur to     size, such as Barnes and Noble or Borders Group.     CMPexpress.com Books Offers:      Fast new Search Engine with "one-click" comparison to Amazon.com.      Priced 5% less than Amazon.com including shipping.      Books shipped direct from world's largest book distributor.     main homepage at cmpexpress.com      They sell a lot of things including software and already have several internet     stores set up. The bookstore is at:      151.200.0.20      Try the comparison to AMZN button on the bottom of a search like this one:     151.200.0.20      Happy shopping! If you buy a lot of books these sites will guarantee you     savings over AMZN. If you want even bigger savings, try     acses.com  which is a shopping bot that will search 28 bookstores     for the best price....     Have a really hard to find book? Try the bookwire site at      bookwire.com      and select one of the hundreds of specialty sellers to get your book. Almost     everytime it will be cheaper than AMZN......so why buy from     AMZN?.............;^)     AMZN is a commodity reseller....the market will annihilate margins in books,     CD's and any other business that AMZN chooses to get into. That is the nature     of the beast. The very thing that made AMZN special, now makes it a Plain     Jane retailer....on the internet there is no loyalty, since comparison shopping is     just a click away, not a 20 minute drive to yet another Mall.....;^)
