that should be amazon's ceo.

Why? He made a decision about pricing when there was no one else in
the market. Prices were low so book buyers certainly didn't suffer.
Why is that wrong?

selling below cost to squash all competition.

Where Amazon appear to be most below cost is in S&H. *Free shipping on
orders over $25 is excessively generous (used to be for over $50, then
$35 ...).


They probably have the most favorable shipping costs in the U.S. Or,
they could be like GREEDY B&H and charge $25.00 to ship a 2oz remote
control.

It seems the "GREED" here lies with the Canadian government, not B&H
(unless you are making another of your usual anti-Semitic, anti NYC
remarks.)

I guess you never read B&H's statement on International shipping:

"1 International orders are generally subject to local import duties
and taxes (VAT). B&H offers the convenience of handling these fees on
your behalf for specific countries and for many items. If your order
qualifies for this option, it will be presented to you during the
checkout process.

2 If you choose to use this service, B&H will collect and pay any local
import duties and taxes on your behalf. By choosing this service, you
authorize B&H to charge your credit card used on this order for your
additional import duties, VAT or taxes. You also authorize B&H to
charge your credit card used on this order for any subsequent delivery
fee resulting from incorrectly identifying your address as a business
vs residence.

3 If you decline to use our pre-paid service, B&H is not responsible
for, nor can we offer, any specific advice regarding any customs
related fees that you may incur. For specific information, please
consult with your local government import office."
