Should the AMZN thread be moved to "Specialty Retail"? That's where Barnes & Noble (BKS) is. Or maybe BKS should be moved under "Web/Info", like AMZN? One thing for sure, the BKS thread moves at a _much_ slower pace. They've got 47 replies, total, since it started in late 1997. The AMZN thread does that in a _day_ :)

<<I think having both a physical and an internet presence would be the perfect marketing strategy.>> One advantage of shopping is we can compare several ones before picking up (technical/computer) books. A question if you order from B&N net and want a refund or exchange can you bring it back to the local store? Also most people who don't read a lot don't mind a couple dollars more expensive at the stores. People who read books like horses eat then not neccessarily shop at amzn if other net sellers sell cheaper (bargain hunters always shop at the best price)
