Jason furman, a well known economist, argues that Amazon is not really a risk as they compete with Walmart and basically all retail (he doesn't break out the book segment).

A bigger monopoly risk are firms which grow by buying competitors. Looking at you facebook.

Right. In addition to Walmart, I think Shopify also has a chance at taking on Amazon, from a different angle. More broadly, all big retailers seem to target Amazon as a common enemy.
