Hey, You're indeed thinking along the same lines as we are (currently experimenting with). I'm pushing on some folks internally for more details and hope to get back to you with more meat before too long... Keith PS: For the record, the current "Finished Goods Warehouse", which is the most purely APP-based internal store, has 840+ books & 179,870 images, but I'm sure Google and others have quite a bit more stuff in an APP instance.
