I am not convinced that shipping is the retail killer. I have bought books from Amazon because I didn't have time to chase all over town to find what I needed for work. I have bought books from Amazon as gifts for out-of-town friends/family, and by buying from Amazon I 'saved' a trip to Fed Ex because Amazon did it for me. Even before the internet the catalogue business was very hot. With the power of the net, it may be exponentially so. Check out Dell computer.

Good luck to you too!
