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. Mark, I believe you are mistaken. You did read about Bertelsmanns and Amazon.con and 2 billion. I read the same article and could locate it if necessary. Anyhow, what occurred was Bertelsmanns was trying to negotiate a deal with Amazon.con and Jeffery Bezos wanted the 2 billion dollars. Bertelsmanns said that was way out of line. Amazon.con is not worth that much and Bertelsmanns went with barnesandnoble.com. That was what occurred. Glenn
