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.

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.....;^)
