a complete success to date, managed by the best minds from big retailing

>>Dealing with the order bubble.

Music sales aren't what they were in the 60's and 70's anyway. I filled out my collection, too, but I buy plenty of new stuff.

Exactly - which is why AMZN won't have much significant competition. The value of the infrastructure they have created is vastly undervalued. It will be nearly impossible to duplicate it. Nobody will finance another unless someone really big like MSFT or WAL decides it is life or death for their company to do so.
