Glenn,

>> The only book value that Amazon has is good will. There is no
tangible book value.

For a minute I thought you were talking about their book selection.

Thanks for the long answer to my question. I cannot imagine any perception of "coolness" to apply to prescriptions, but maybe they'll find a way. More likely they'll find a way to lose $300M instead of $200M per year.

Just a small clarification. The only book value that Amazon has is good will. There is no tangible book value.

Exactly Glenn...makes this a pretty risky investment by any standard. Not much prospect for earnings, much of that revenue growth may well be due to acquisitions as much as anything...

Not a real slam dunk, to put it mildly!
