Now they finally decided to run a piece. wow. I am speechless. Desert grandma I won't even bother arguing with you, I am sure you feel likewise. Sirbruce I suggest you look a little deeper then tossing out half-truths, Amazon makes profit. period. Check their 4th quarter earnings for 2009 during the worst economy in 50 years. Give me a break!!!!!

Mobileread read your own forums will ya:

Did it ever occur to you that people are ignoring this thread because its whiny and self serving?

And your problem with making a healthy profit in a capitalist society? Would that be because they have shareholders to account for, are doing something right? That is what they are supposed to do, correct?

Or is it because they aren't "spreading/sharing the wealth"?
