Hmm, maybe. But the thing to consider is that Amazon does something new (eBooks), is scarily good at something old (logistics), is growing and expanding its market share and technology base with no ceiling in sight, and on top of all that is successful. To a fundamentally conservative business like book retail, that is a profoundly scary thing.
