Looks like the rumors of stock-for-book (maybe discounts, maybe exceedingly generous credit terms, maybe outright free inventory) and the pointed facts of writing off advertising expenses as "one time charges" are starting to get around in the major investment circles. Hey Glenn, if all this turns out to be true are all of us AMZN shorts going to throw you a party with our profits? :) OC, That sounds fine to me. I just need profits now;-) Glenn

This sounds really interesting, and possibly illegal. Also the bit about the one-time charges - is this rumored to be coming up in the third quarter financials, or what ?? Thanks
