Such is the power of the long tail, Amazon combines massive economies of scale and scope with a optimized supply chain driven by a predictive analytics engine that can forecast efficiencies closer to god, it makes the competition both big and small irrelevant.

I'm quite surprised that there isn't some kind of international
cooperative bookstore that brings together small and independent
bookstores together in a kind of alliance to connect with customers
around the world.

I like some of the charity book stores like oxfam but many of them don't
deliver internationally.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Kevin
