If AMZN thinks they can win Europe with mere 40% discounts and flashy newspaper ads, they're in for a surprise. The battle for the European market will be long and costly IMO. Charles, You made the biggest point here. The telling part is Amazon cannot afford a long and costly battle. How many customers does AMZN have- 3.1 million or so? The number of active customers is less. AMZN never accounts for customer attrition. - Bertelsmann has a database of more than 35 million active book and music club members, with international breadth There is the key word "active." I also did not know the number was that high. Thank you. Glenn
