If they won't do business in Illinois, Texas, New York and California, what are their hopes of long-term profitability?

Who said they aren't "doing business" in Illinois?

You can still go to Amazon.com and they will take your order.

Do you understand what Amazon has done and what the law passed by Illinois does?

Yes I do. Amazon is fleeing from places that want to levy sales taxes against their business, even if it means hanging some of their affiliates out to dry or abandoning their own distribution centers. Eventually, they will run out of states that won't try to tax them. Then, where will they go?
