www.nytimes.com/2011/08/17/technology/amazon-set-to-publish-tim-ferriss.html?_r=1Amazon may one day do to publishing houses and book stores, what Wal-mart is doing to small town American stores. It is already beginning. I personally like Amazon, and all my business dealings with them have been great, whether buying, or selling, or general support. Unfortunately, monopolies in every consumer area seems to bring its own side effects in due time.

Except most of my purchases are through Amazon Marketplace which I know keeps more than one small secondhand bookstore afloat. I am more likely to buy from the Marketplace than Amazon itself. Same with a lot of non book goods they often come from smaller businesses.
