>> But Amazon offers anyone of 2.5 million titles in at most a week. Can your local supermarket do that?

Why does that fact prevent amzn from charging list price for merchandise ?

Actually, there is a scenario for amzn to make profit. Specialize in books that are not normally stocked in local stores. But then their sales will be reduced. That way they will have very little competition. But they will not justify $20 B market cap.
