"If you buy at Amazon.com you pay too much . . . BarnesandNoble.com, (what a long, uncool name for a web site!), has more titles at much lower prices . . ." The slant of the ads would be that only Internet wanabies pay more than they have to - trying to be cool by buying at Amazon. Rob, I do not agree with this strategy. I am a believe in never mentioning a competitors name in an advertisement. Part of Amazon's present success in having a known name is the publicity generated by the stock price. Let's not give Amazon any more of that please;-)
