Amazon.com tells its shareholders it's not going to make a profit on the next Harry Potter book.
With their steep discounts, guaranteed delivery and free shipping, they're not going to make a profit on the biggest thing to hit publishing in the last ten years?
Good lord. These guys are as stupid as when I worked for them almost a decade ago. But hey, they are "cementing customer loyalty."
Hello? Customers will be just as loyal if you make a profit.
(Knowing them they just miscalculated the costs and now are trying to cover their collective asses. The place is run by teenagers.)
ETA: In other news, now have 838 more words of Out Of Bounds. And counting.
