Glenn -- Here comes print-to-order. AMZN is dead. A buy at 10? :-)

>>The Sprout system provides single-copy production of perfect-bound, paperback books in central and in-store production facilities<<

So now you will not need warehouses or UPS to get books to their destination, just a small printing/binding machine in a local bookstore. Of course, some will miss the hardcovers or the glossy paperback covers.

The first mover advantage may not be as great as some thought. By the time AMZN gets its warehouses operational they may be largely obsolete.

Can someone here post an article "Defusing Amazon.bomb" by Mr. James J. Cramer of Street.com? I heard he wrote: "I'd bet against Barron's any day. After all what are track records for? "
Thanks.
