Exactly. When Rise of the Warrior Cop came out, I wanted to pick it up on release day. None of the local bookstores had it in stock, but all were happy to order it for me. It would have taken them all 4-5 business days.

I went to Amazon that night, and with Prime, I got it in 2 days, for about $10 less than the local brick and mortar stores.

How can anyone compete with that? Especially if they build out their same-day service?

Yeah, I think same day will strike a complete death blow for retail if they can pull it off well.
