As a discount player Amazon should have focused on keeping costs small. Instead the got the plushest offices and overpaid book packers. I agree. Amazon would have succeeded if they focused on their original business plan of selling media material and inventorying very little. This was the advantage of the model. Amazon saves money in not having to pay for prime retail locations as compared to a brick-and-mortar B&N, but it loses to some of that advantage from the cost of shipping There is a tradeoff there. Fulfillent is always going to be a cost needed to be addressed.
