No. My comment was if they are adding Auctions in Q2 which were non-existent (or close to it) in Q1, as well as increased demand for books and CD's in Apr/May/Jun, how could growth trend lower.

Bezo said that initial interest in Auctions was stronger than for CD's. This should not translate in to a lower growth trend.
