How does this change the fundamentals of retailing?

In other words - the future of goods retailing as we know it is dead.

It is certainly true that AMZN, like traditional book sellers,
inccurs the cost of advertising, administration, etc., as you
enumerated. But I am wondering if AMZN could achieve greater
efficency in these areas. For example, they probably only need
a couple large warehouses. As they grow the sales, the efficency
should improve because of the scale.
