Few people will pay a dollar more than they have to for anything. You have the price-is-everything market, and the luxury market. Wal-Mart and Nordstroms. There pretty much isn't a middle market anymore in retail. And if people can buy a book on Amazon for $1.30 cheaper than at Chapters, they'll do it. So brick and mortar retail itself is in relentless decline.
This isn't being driven by sinister and malignant corporate forces. Innovation + efficiency + choice = our economy. It's impossible to suppress any of the three without heavy government interventions of the sort that the average citizen would resent tremendously.
