A couple of years after it launched its website in 1995, Amazon was the subject of an unflattering report entitled "Amazon.Toast". The pundit who penned it predicted that the fledgling online bookseller would soon be crushed by Barnes & Noble (B&N), a book-retailing behemoth which had just launched its own site. Far from being crushed, Amazon is doing the crushing. Borders, a once-mighty book chain, was flattened this year. B&N looks like a frightened capybara running from a fierce Brazilian she-warrior. Amazon is now one of the web's most successful e-tailers. Even Apple is feeling the heat. On September 28th Jeff Bezos, Amazon's boss, unveiled a tablet computer called the Kindle Fire. It will compete with gadgets such as B&N's Nook Color tablet and Apple's iPad. The new Amazon tablet, which has a somewhat smaller screen than the iPad and only offers Wi-Fi connectivity, is likely to be just the first salvo in a titanic battle.
