Amazon has been building/filling a shitload of "local" distribution centers across the US near major cities. This will given them a single or same day delivery advantage to the other online vendors. Since they will have a business presence in most states, they would be paying the tax anyway. This is the ensure their competitors who did not build locally will also pay as well.

They could still play games.
Amazon has at least one big distribution center in Virginia, but almost everything I get from them comes from Kentucky. I'm sure the main reason why they've done it that way is to avoid the sales tax collection. Assuming a bill like this becomes law, they won't "have to" do that any more.
