<<I hope B&N is playing it straight or they are in a world of hurt.>> Dan, you just eloquently explained how everyone should be taxing etail order but B&N more so than AMZN...You can't really have it both ways.... Maybe B&N isn't really hiding the tax, just not interpreting the rules as unfavorably as you...It could happen, even appears that it has.... I am going to question your point on this...now...But I am quite certain that in the long run, states will eventually have to become aggressive collectors of the internet if the sales become as large as some would have us believe.... << If you are B&N knocking off up to 40% off the best seller cover price, hiding a discounting of 6 to 8% (in sales tax) off the rest of the books may not be apparent.>> C'mon Dan, this is a stretch! I enjoy the banter, hope you are not offended.... Regards, Mike
