Amazon.com Inc. on Monday said sales of consumer
electronics surpassed book sales for the first time and was its
largest sales category over the Thanksgiving weekend, launching the
online retailer's busiest holiday selling season in 10 years.
The company also said it set a single-day sales record during the
period with more than 2.8 million units, or 32 items per second,
ordered across the globe.

purchases are. Just as Old Media is being replaced, is Old Retail
being replaced? Oddly, no mention in that article or
this
one which day it was.
I can do my Christmas shopping now.
