In terms of what I find most interesting is that, my previous perception of a monopoly was one company holding a vast majority of the total market share. Amazon and e-commerce, has me re-evaluating that perception.

If you look at two scenarios, where in the first, company x has, whatever, say, 80% of the market, vs a company like Amazon having 40%, and millions of other competitors, but it's closest competition holds a fraction (less than 8%). Is that competitive imbalance much less problematic than the first scenario? Even if the bulk of companies hold the majority of online sales? I'm not so sure that it is much less problematic.

I think anti-competitive practices are a bigger concern than sheer size. Amazon is particularly bad here.
