I get the point of what you are saying here, but to be fair, when Amazon first came out it was just books. I was buying stuff online from places like Buy.com (which isn't around anymore I don't think), while Amazon was still just selling books. If I would have been in the place to invest back then, I probably would have picked a company like Buy.com over Amazon. How wrong I would have been! Again, that is beside the point and like I said, I totally get where you are going with this.

Good point. Though I am talking more about after AMZN had established itself as the place to go for online shopping. It's been the one of the best performing large cap tech stocks for years and years now.
Gotcha! No doubt about that. I think my brother in law owns some that he bought very early on.
