“Yet for all this, I am deeply uneasy about Amazon’s apparently unassailable position in online retail.”
I have found online ordering at both Costco and Walmart to be easier and much more efficient than Amazon. NewEgg, Lowe’s, Home Depot are all websites I visit more than Amazon. Part of this is I am not much of a media consumer. But all, I do not have time for distractions and “suggestions” when online purchasing.
- zanny 9y agoThinking about it if anything other services are finally catching up. I've ordered as much stuff in the last 2 months from walmart and best buy as I have from Amazon despite being a prime member. There isn't really as much of a network effect to Amazon they can abuse. For a lot of people, the day they jack up prices to exploit their position is the day a lot of people tab over to walmart or target.com and buy the thing from there instead.
