I'm waiting for the ruling that says "if you sell ebooks, those count as purchases in that state and you pay taxes--which means your business counts as having a physical presence in that state, since you're making sales to individual addresses there, and any ebooks/mp3-and-physical-products combined vendor is going to have to collect sales taxes on all purchases."
I think it's even more complicated than that; I think that Amazon's warehouse operations are legally a different company from Amazon-the-retailer.
