I agree with you, but what I meant by "viable" was more from a consumer perspective.

While I think you're mostly right, Amazon is eventually going to burn enough buyers that they go back to the more trustworthy brick-and-mortar stores.
Most people I personally know have already done this. They may search for something on Amazon, but they will go and buy it somewhere else.
I'm obviously part of a very specific subset, but it's going to hurt Amazon eventually, especially if the US takes a more consumer-friendly regulatory approach than it has for the past few years (which it will).
