In the grand digital bazaar of 27.5 billion monthly shoppers, everyone is vying for attention, but the giants like Amazon and Walmart are like city-states while the smaller shops, buoyed by mobile browsing and stubbornly effective email, fight for their slice of the cart with a bounce rate that suggests we're all still just window shopping a lot of the time.
