Despite its domination of the digital marketplace, Amazon is reportedly preparing for a move into brick and mortar retail stores, according to Good eReader.

Rather than build a large store with a wide variety of products, Amazon reportedly wants to go the Apple route and offer a high-class in-store experience to showcase its growing line of consumer electronics products.
