Maybe Amazon's competitive edge is that its investors don't demand current profits, like the shareholders do of every other company. They can price to break even or lose money. I think I recall other retailers complaining about competing with a company that doesn't need to make a profit. It does sound difficult, and it is at least a bit quizzical that Amazon gets away with it. Then again, their strategy does seem to have worked.
