Amazon's not making a profit on Harry Potter?

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.
