Anybody knows when Berstelsmann will begin promoting their online bookstore in the US ? I find it hard to beleive that longs will not be scared when a $ 14 billion publishing company, (with largest share of publishing business in the US by the way) will start aiming their guns at AMZN. Their presence in over 50 countries, and experience and logistics in those markets will seriously impair AMZN's growth internationally. The fact that they are part owners of AOL in Europe should also be taken into consideration.
