Huge focus on digital stuff. You have to use a drop-down menu to get to physical goods... And this used to be a bookstore.

  No, you have to use a drop-down menu to find physical books, a logical decision considering (as I recall) eBook sales have eclipsed paper book sales on Amazon.

  That's the operative phrase: "used to be". Amazon is now general merchandising, though focused on information (printed/electronic) products. Wal-Mart's biggest current competitor is Amazon. There's a large initiative at Wal-Mart to develop an R&D lab near San Francisco: http://www.baycitizen.org/technology/story/inside-walmart-labs/ http://www.baycitizen.org/technology/story/inside-walmart-la... Good luck matching Amazon's culture with that mandatory drug test requirement.
