Amazon's going to discover that no, their "affiliates" will not rise en masse to support them and insist that Amazon should go tax-free in 48 states, or however many it doesn't have main offices in. Multi-million dollar international mega-corporations not paying taxes is part of why we're in an economic crisis.
Amazon got market dominance by being ubiquitous; the tactic of "if we have to pay taxes, we won't do business in your state" will make them less universal. B&N or Powell's may jump in with an affiliate program that does pay taxes, and Amazon would lose a lot of its traffic.
