Secondly, we will be downloading music (and video) within a few years,
If your definition of a few is 5-10 then maybe, but 2-3, no way. Also, concerning CD sales, I would guess the "average" person buying CDs online is more "net savvy" than the the "average" book buyer. Probably alot younger, maybe half the age, and much more price conscious. Nothing to back this up just my opinion about who buys music as opposed to who buys books. So if AMZN is the price leader, they will do well, if not, then....
And don't forget about Columbia House, and those other 12 for 1 places. When these guys get online, watch out. I can't tell you how many times the wife has signed up for these things.
