B&N - Amazon.Com

	What I don't understand is how come amazon.com isn't making any 
money -- you'd think that with no stores, no parking lots to maintian, a 
lot fewer employees and hardly any inventory on hand, they'd be making in 
by the sackful.  Does anyone have a theory or some direct experience?

say, and then to say it with the utmost levity." G.B. Shaw
