Note that I didn't say Walmart is bad. In fact I said: 'Is it good for consumers? Probably', and I mean that.<p>I called their goods junk, just as I'm willing to call <i>The Duke's Boardroom Affair</i> junk, because that's how those products are seen, even by people who buy them. That doesn't imply any disdain for people who buy Chinese-factory-made T-shirts, or people who read romance novels.<p>(If you consider the number of people who buy Chinese-factory-made T-shirts or read romance novels, you'd have to feel disdain for an <i>extremely</i> large percentage of people).<p>The point is simply that what Amazon is doing could turn them into the Walmart of bookstores, for better or worse.
