Then there is Walmart, who apparently has their panties in a twist because people keep calling Amazon the "Walmart of the web". So they are launching a full frontal assault on amazons book business. Heavily discounting some highly anticipated upcoming books. |
And Amazon has
started same-day delivery

I gotta say, it would make me nervous if both Google and Walmart were gunning for my customers.

Isn't that what Amazon did when it first started?
I see this hurting independent resellers who use Amazon as a selling platform for their own business more than I see it hurting Amazon. The independent resellers have been able to undercut Amazon's prices for years.
