Their supposed explanation (though several CSRs denied this) is that people want Amazon Prime Video (heh ok), and Chromecast/AppleTV doesn't "support it". Hence they are refusing to sell these devices. In reality it seems far more like a pathetic death throe of the folks running FireTV or a response to the (most likely?) low uptake of the poor Prime Video offering. The thing is they are so entrenched (I spent a lot on Amazon, and Prime is a main reason) they can really shut hurt products by refusing to carry them. Ordering via someone else is a pain. (I used jet.com to buy Chromecasts and they're so, so, far from Amazon.)
