YUP- and no shipping from your local Crown bookstore, plus it is fun to browse the shelves. I own a little BKS but for some reason their "model" just hasn't caught on like AMZN's. Now either BKS is grossly undervalued or...

In my opinion the ors have it. AMZN is ridiculous. E- commerce is great but uncertain- and for some reason that uncertainty is heightening valuations when, in fact, it should be reducing them.

Crown is bankrupt now and no longer in my area. (Shame, they even sold Barron's at a discount). Amazon will follow. They may buy some time with a secondary but they will NEVER make money selling books. Or CD's, T-shirts, software, etc.
