2) Amazon's international experience and why they aren't more profitable internationally yet - highlighted by a brief conversation on their evolution in India
3) Amazon's mini-fulfillment centers and the evolution of urban, high-shrink retail - is home delivery a better model for retail in the high shrink parts of the world?
