CS, I see you are working hard tonight. First, "BMYNARD" is correct on all counts regarding the notes. Second, the S-4 filing... Nice to see that anyone they acquire for stock will be able to immediately dump their shares as they will be registered. The upside to that for AMZN is that anyone they buy won't want to haggle over the fine print - "just give me the damn papers so I can sign them and sell that toilet paper you're paying me with". ;-) OK, so they will have $200 million worth of new shares to play with to try to acquire someone with cash flow so they might, one day, be able to service their half billion of debt. What can you buy for $200 million? What that's 'net related and profitable, that is? Hey, maybe they can do a share swap with MSDW for a basket of S&P stocks. With that growing at a sure-thing rate of 20-30% p.a., they can grow that to enough to cover the debt. Houahahaha!
