Don't know the details but i've read it in a news piece a while back that Bertelsmann offered 2 billion for a considerable stake in Amzn.

>>Why would Bertelsmann offer Amzn 2 billion dollars to buy a piece of their business and Barns & Noble.com 2 million? I hadn't seen the $2 billion figure. What were the details of the offer? eb, Two billion dollars was never offered. Trust me! Glenn

What were the details of the offer? e.b. e. boolean, you are absolutely correct: The 2 billion dollar figure was just a rumor. There has never been an offer. IMO there will never be an offer for AMZN. The 2 million dollars is also incorrect, it is 200 million and that is now historical fact.
