I agree. I've always wondered why Borders and Barnes and Noble don't really push their physical store customers to their web sites. And I think you've found the reason. |

Barnes and Noble will never catch Amazon (nor will Borders), because they have a serious dilemma - if they continue to discount their books by 20-40% to stay at Amazon's level, they risk cannibalizing full-price or nearly-full-price sales in their stores. |

Those numbers are impressive until you compare them to Amazon: B&N 4Q revenues: $31.1 million Amazon 4Q revenues: $245 million Amazon's e-commerce success has been hard for others to replicate. |

Interesting article on the path of the Internet according to the founder of Earthlink, with a brief discussion on bigger more established companies and their inability to fully function on the web. . . http://cbs.marketwatch.com/archive/19990211/news/current/elnk.htx?source=blq/yhoo&dist=yhoo |

techwatch- Once again, Barnes and Noble is late! There is competition in this industry, mainly varsitybooks.com and bigwords.com We'll see if they have trouble catching up. . . |

Barnes & Noble just launched textbook.com, a site said to have access to more than six million new, used and out-of-print text books. Like the company's general interest book site, textbook.com is building student and business affiliate programs. Great domain name - short and easy to spell, unlike their main site. |

Barnes and Noble is planning to spin it off in an IPO. While it's not growing as fast as Amazon and it's more unprofitable than Amazon, it could still do well in the long run. Agree/disagree? |
