A comment on 1 out of every 153 American workers is an Amazon employee. Parent comment
Amazon in the 90s wasn't about "getting a book" but "getting a book via a computer, from a place with "all the books" and I don't have to drive".
B&N could have competed with that if they had understand what was happening, but I don't think they did.
bookshop.org appears to do so, but may be 20 years too late.
