I can't believe that Amazon can claim to be the worlds biggest bookstore, yet be whining to the government when a bookstore chain with 1/2 of AMZNs market capitalization decides to grow. What a joke! How can they have it both ways? "We're HUGE!" "No, we're tiny and weak" "But customers should not be worried, because we are HUGE and getting stronger every day" "Could you please drag out the fed review until I can dump my AMZN insider shares?"

Bezos is getting a taste of his own medicine, and he doesn't like it. The company is valued at these levels precisely because some people thought AMZN could do to BKS what BKS is about to do to AMZN. IMO, the reason AMZN didn't buy Ingram first is probably that Ingram told them they wanted real money, not funny money (AMZN stock). In any case, that deal will probably attract a lot of unwanted publicity for all participants, and AMZN, leveraged as it is, stands to loose the most. The $ 60,000 dollar question : what will AMZN promoters "analysts" do ?
