Fascinating look at a major market where Amazon were completely trounced by their competition.
If you're in the US/UK and feel like Amazon is unavoidable (for ebooks or physical goods), just bear in mind that Amazon *can* fail. And it looks like they're being driven completely out of China by their competitors, just as Walmart failed in the UK.
