<< Gee, not too patronizing. >> Just a fact. Nor are we reading now, sitting in front of a computer. <<AMZN can sell all of those books as well as those that are out of print....>> AMZN can indeed sell these, and likely will continue to do so. I have no problem with the concept of Amazon staying in business. What I do have a problem with is the delusion that any bookseller can ever get rich peddling a low markup item to a small audience. Amazon will never justify its market capitalization. Never. Good luck and good night.

andy, joe also doesn't type urls, he bookmarks them. so why is it easier to click in one's bookmarks on a link called barnes and noble or borders than click on amazon? oh, sorry, this sidebar of reality doesn't fit the new pair-a-dimes... ;-) better yet, joe six pack will bookmark acses.com and get the cheapest book - most likely NOT amazon. information (what the net is all about) is good for consumers and bad for business. the ignorance profitability quotient is huge. maybe 3-5% of all sales. take away ignorance and a large portion of profit is lost.
