There might be money to be made in the show. However, I think the true value might come from getting Amazon members in general from the International market, something that could greatly boost their retail business.

It's gonna be a tough game for Amazon. They're trying to launch here too, but we already have multiple huge online webstores in the Netherlands: Bol.com is our Amazon and Coolblue is like Newegg. The Netherlands is small enough that almost all orders are one-day delivery even when you order at 11pm, and they're experimenting with same-day delivery already. Why the hell would I pay for 'fast' shipping from a store that has far less to offer than those?
