Your cautions are well justified. That's why AMZN, sooner or later (preferably sooner) has to stop branching out and concentrate on making its existing businesses profitable. If WalMart wants to market music or books online similar to its marketing in its stores, I think AMZN need not fear loss of customers. One does not ALWAYS choose products on the basis of price, even in conventional retailing. That's why many non-discount department stores can still hold their own against discounters.
