I'm waiting for the day Amazon takes out the logistics middlemen and has it's own long-distance delivery fleets (trucks and planes). I think it is inevitable at the scale they operate under. If/when that happens, it will be interesting to see where the locate their warehouses.
I don't know. Right now they commoditize delivery (the customer doesn't pick who delivers the package, just the delivery terms) so they can take advantage of the best rates for any individual package. It will be hard to compete with that internally.
