In batches of 50,000? That's interesting, as it means we can figure out a ballpark number of users for their store by looking at when the first emails we're sent and when they stop (but I am too lazy to make the calculus right now). That should come up to a few hundreds of thousands though. Now obviously, you make money by selling books, not getting people to register, still, it's frightening: you can have hundred of thousand of customers, and not make enough money to make it worth your while. Cut-throat business indeed.
