You know I love these Chicken Little types. Amazon buys Whole Foods and you think they own it all now and Kroger and Walmart, along with the others, should just throw the towel in and close shop.

Think about all the companies over the years thought to be too big to fail. Sears,Kmart, Montgomery Ward, A & P, etc., etc..

Amazon is not infallible, they will make mistakes, may have made one with WF, how long can they keep going as growth company, not really showing any profits and not paying any dividends???

I’m not very smart about how all of this ‘cloud’ stuff works, but I’ve always wondered something. If a place like Amazon ‘went under’, what would happen to all the digital stuff people have purchased?

I’ve got a lot of Kindle books, now. They are on my devices and I don’t have to be on WIFI to read them, once they’re downloaded; but I don’t know exactly how/if they are supported.

I don’t buy much from Audible precisely because they don’t allow you to download in an MP3 format; I can’t seem to listen to those unless I’m on WIFI, so I guess they don’t really ‘exist’ on my own device.
