Such is the power of the long tail, Amazon combines massive economies of scale and scope with a optimized supply chain driven by a predictive analytics engine that can forecast efficiencies closer to god, it makes the competition both big and small irrelevant. <br>

&gt;&gt; Dear Friends,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Can anyone suggest some alternative online book sellers to Amazon with<br>
&gt;&gt; preferably global delivery? We regularly post book reviews and even have<br>
&gt;&gt; an Amazon store embedded in the P2P blog. However considering Amazons<br>
&gt;&gt; poor labour practices we would prefer to support cooperative<br>
&gt;&gt; alternatives where possible.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Thanks in advance for your suggestions<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
