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.
