I wouldn't be so quick to sign Wal-mart off - you may not see their stores in New York, LA or Chicago - but they're everywhere else in the US. They are, after all, the leading retailer in the country (and probably the world) - and a lot of people know their name. And while their web presence does not yet match Amazon's, I'm sure they're not going to give up any of their revenue without a fight. It's also interesting to note that Amazon did successfully hire away some key Wal-mart managers that knew Wal-mart's distribution system inside and out - Wal-mart sued, and I believe Amazon settled out of court (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).
