Very good reading Glenn, there are only going to be 2 or 3 major players and none of them will be selling books, etc. at a loss then. Ps. get on board this train; isn't going to wait for no one.

>> Well, you're not just an online version of a swivel rack at the supermarket checkout. You are a media outlet. You are an information resource. You are, perhaps, given the as-yet unrealized possibilities of streaming video, a pay-per-view television outlet. You are selling books, magazines, records, tapes. You are programming entertainment. You are providing vast message board forums for people to discuss music and literature. << Glenn - Isn't it simply amazing that people can extrapolate a mail-order website, that burns cash like it's newspaper , into a media behemoth of the 21st century ? These clowns act like the game is over , and AMZN has been declared the winner ! Although , of course , they've never made any money , are undercapitalized against MUCH larger opponents , are in a business with sucko gross margins , etc, etc , etc. This is getting to be a real hoot.
