Is this proper accounting? If not, then how could the auditors allow it? This is proper accounting if they stay consistant from quarter to quarter. Of course, gift certificates in Q1 99 would be far less in dollars than Q4 98. Glenn

No more proper accounting for AMZN than YHOO's IQ with its millions written off for intangibles and amortization of good will and other phony baloney... Perhaps it's not a new thought here, but some CPAs will be going to jail before this is over...
