It would take some work, of course. The real key is doing something that provided enough value to keep people coming back. There are a lot of things that Amazon simply can't do because of the sheer volume of merchandise.
Um, the last time I checked, Amazon does all of the things you listed. The author interviews are more author pages, but the effect is similar. I think you need a little more research.
