German online bookseller challenges Amazon, BOL
Article Abstract:
Buecher.de is expected by analysts to challenge the dominance of Amazon.com Inc and Berterlmann AG in the European online book retailing market. Although new German online bookseller's stock has been sliding since it went public in 1999, its sales are growing faster than fixed costs. To compete with the two online booksellers, the company is leveraging on its speed in delivering books to buyers, which is a day faster than Amazon.
