Revenue growth is never sustainable once you get the revenue large enough. This is true for every single business. The real question is whether they can continue revenue growth even at annual 150%. I agree the entry barriers to bring up an e-commerce site is minimal, but the entry barriers in advertising and partnerships (Quicken, associates) is high. That said, there are only a limited # of players that can challenge Amazon and they include B&N, Borders, Bertlesman, and even Wal-mart. I do see my friends, though, ordering from Amazon just about every week. The stock is overvalued but more than valuation has been driving this puppy for quite some time.
