Unfortunately, cutthroat pricing on the Internet has adverse implications for companies with fixed assets selling stuff in malls and elsewhere. Over the longer term, as people get more comfortable with computers and Internet shopping, the traditional retail business model will become more difficult as a greater percentage will be window shopping with items purchased on the Internet once the desired choice has been identified. (But note that Barnes and Noble just opened a superstore about a mile from me and I will go there instead of Amazon because it is fun to do.)
