They are an exception. People think that books are what they are and that it

them in shops or on other sites?
Why yes or why no?

In which country do you live?
Are you comparνng sales of clothes on the internet with sales of clothes on
shops?
Do you also count Internet shops which have a traditional shop at the same
time?

Do you really think so?
This is an interesting question.
I forward this question to other NGs as well.

Did you count the procentage of https sites which underwent a phishing
