Big, bad Amazon
The notion that Amazon is a book store is the most flawed aspect of this article.

They are more than just a book store, but they do sell 40% of all new books with no competitor in sight. I can't see how any bookstore can't afford to be online. Even small independent book stores do sales online.

I also suspect that books is the only market in which they can act like a monopsony.
