Amzon is simply spreading its wings to other markets. I like the reference to the supermarket where you can, as a matter of fact, purchase books as well.

However, one thing to note was that WebVan did partner with Amazon.com before they crashed and burned. I bought my first Harry Potter book while buying groceries. It only makes sense. Go into any decent sized grocery store and they have books, gifts, auto supplies and eggs. Many people have turned to superstores like Sams and BJs... why shouldn't Amazon take that model and provide it online. I just hope they succeed so I do not have to go through withdraws again. several years ago we had WebVan, which I became addicted to and still suffer from withdraws.

I'm a huge Amazon fan, an Amazon Prime subscriber and a shareholder. I've bought a bunch of food from them. I've turned my parents onto it, as well - a few weeks back or so, my Mom asked me to look up the Annie's Macaroni and Cheese that my little brother eats. I looked it up and the price difference was about $2 a box (which is a big deal on a $3.50-$6 product). It'll be interesting to see how Amazon Fresh develops. Interesting stuff.

Whilst i don't see them acquiring a fleet of jets, they're certainly well positioned to acquire local couriers and so on...

Dredges up all the horrible memories of the Webvan demise. Anyway, I'm not sure you're right. Amazon is very smart. They are an e-tailer, not a distributor. Their focus is product, not distribution. But I may be wrong too :) -Alister Oooh.
