Glenn- What credit, if any, do you give to Amazon for their 'success'? By success here, I mean taking market share (e.g., leading in music sales after one full quarter). If they really do have a way to not only attract new customers, but sell to them and get many of them to return to buy more, then don't you wonder how far revenue growth can take this company? Don't you think it's possible that they can maintain market share, even as they move into higher margin sales (I have no idea what those might be)? I ask these questions because you seem to base your bleak outlook on lost sales growth momentum (as opposed to impossible-to-achieve sales and/or profit expectations, taken as far out as necessary).
