No, I meant that anyone can set up an internet site to sell books. The barrier to entry is low. At some point everyone will be looking for the lowest price by using agents therefore taking out much of the profit. Amazon.com is drawing people because of the massive expenditures in advertising. Therefore major losses. The book I buy is the same. If I pay less I like it more, and I don't care if it comes from Amazon or B&N or Joe Schmoe.
