This is a really good interview with Tim O’Reilly, Software licenses don’t work about how Amazon is going to take over. I love amazon and all, but I dunno. They’re not too friendly to competitors.
I think he is right though in saying that the value they have most is their software and the “critical mass” of customers that are giving them data.

Hello, my name is Judson.
I live in Houston, TX and work in healthcare/IT. I am a liberal-libertarian, a progressive, a technophile, and a web-addict. I like Apple, Google, am gay, and I like movies a lot. I am also fairly active on the english wikipedia as cohesion, and am an administrator there (think custodian). Also, I ramble. The easiest way to get to know me is by reading this and looking at the categories I write about.
I have a claimID page here
