SEATTLE (AP) - Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) 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.

So, erm, they had a bigger day back in like, 1994?

What they neglected to mention was that this is because of patent pressure, they are now the only online-store in the united states.

From what I've seen, Amazon won't say which day the record was set, or why they won't say which day the record was set. Why the secrecy?
OneDay shopping. You don't tell anyone about something you're patenting until AFTER you patent it! Jeez, pay attention.
Meanwhile, let's get some prior art going, people! I've got Monday.
