I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years from now, Amazon starts directly competing with FedEx (not just delivering the products they themselves sell). If there is one company that thrives on volume and razor thin margins, it is Amazon.

Just look at the range of markets they are entering - it is scary. cloud storage, selling almost every physical product we can imagine, online video, tablets (and phones soon) ...




thats an interesting point. I'm not sure its all part of some large plan slowly in motion, more likely just monetizing parts of their infrastructure they already had.

what if my kids ask me what "stores" are.
