Ever since Barnes and Noble introduced this (in Manhattan) a few years back, I wondered when Amazon would follow suit. It's an awesome idea, and not a bad price for Prime members, but I wonder what percentage of available items are in each warehouse.

I'll bet Amazon already has a pretty good idea of which items are currently most frequently ordered with overnight delivery.

B&N has Amazon beat on shipping costs for Manhattan though. Unless Amazon brings down the cost, B&N will still be my choice. Be interesting to see how B&N responds - will they expand to other cities?
