I wonder how many heavy Prime customers are buying things they could buy from Walmart. We were afflicted with the "long tail" buzzword because that's where most of Amazon's money came from from, the long out of print and very very niche books. Walmart doesn't sell that stuff. Amazon has been expanding into all sorts of retail, but if niche books are no longer their primary business I missed hearing about it.
