I think the bigger thing is that there is more bad products on Amazon now. I've found myself going to Target or other more specific stores (e.g. Rei for camping supplies, etc) for goods because a lot of the stuff I see on Amazon isn't what I want to buy. For example, I was looking for an adapter for my Macbook and all the adapters were basically just chinese rebrands of the same adapter. I finally gave up and got a Belkin one from Best Buy because I couldn't find a comparable thing on Amazon. I think this is happening a lot and really hurting them in that sector.
