This doesn't come as a surprise. Amazon has created fantastic consumer and merchant experiences and brought buyer friction down to almost nothing.

I'll be interested to see how they plan to tackle the in-store experience. There are obviously the perishable aspects of grocery store products which, with intense and continual establishment of their current strategies, will eventually present opportunity to become a viable part of the company. But on another end of things, shopping as a hobby is something to overcome. No amount of UX or UI (in current stages, at least) can compare to the coveted experience that shoppers seek when going to a mall. This is an area where Amazon might find value in AR. Ex. being able to try on an outfit without leaving your house.

An obvious method would be to open their own physical stores but that would probably just be a "tiller on the car" fix.

Whatever direction the company goes, I look forwards to seeing what Amazon has in store. (Seriously though, no pun intended.)

Am I the only one who thinks their site is bloated and slow? I mean, it works but it's not that pleasant to use.
