In recent years the retail book business has seen many of its smaller retailers go out of business. Some analysists have attributed the demise of these small operations to the rise of internet book retailers, whose direct-to-customer business model has allowed them to offer books at lower prices than traditional retailers. These analysts must be incorrect, however, because even after several years in business these internet book retailers account for less than 15% of the total retail book market.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument that the analysists are incorrect?

A. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal noted that the demise of many small booksellers has been attributed to the rise of a new chain of super-store bookstores, whose predatory business practices have forced smaller operators out of the business.

B. The low prices of internet book retailers is deceptive, because most of the savings in retail price are passed on to customers through high shipping costs and online transaction fees.

C. Most high profile internet booksellers have gone out of business in recent years.

D. In a survey of over 100,000 book consumers, nearly 75% clearly expressed a preference to be able to thoroughly peruse a book before deciding to make a purchase.

E. The low prices of internet retailers have been so heavily advertised with "pop-up" banners that prices have been pushed down throughout the industry.
