We'll ferociously manage the products we carry so that we sell only products that are profitable, ... The thirty-pound box of nails isn't long for our world.
We have had so many discussions with so many different publishers that it isn't practical to keep it under wraps, ... Too many people know about it.
We believe there's a tremendous opportunity ahead across the $5 trillion retail market globally.
We're very proud of the year over year growth that we did see. At the same time, we made progress in our operating loss as a percentage of sales, which is something we really wanted to do.
We invite authors to communicate with their readers in a way that hasn't before been possible. Amazon Connect brings the author's message to the reader instead of waiting for the reader to find the message.
We get to move more units across that same fixed-cost structure. So it does help our business and help customers at the same time,
Our vision first and foremost is to be the Earth's most customer-centric company and then, within that, to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything and everything that they might want to buy online,
We'd like to thank Joe for his hard work and accomplishments over the last year. I believe he is making the right decision for him and his family under the circumstances. We all wish him the very best.

I definitely believe people should pay for copyrighted works. And the laws are sufficient: They already require you to pay for copyright work. There's no confusion. The problem is...it's a heck of a lot easier to steal MP3s than to buy them.
The three most important things in retail are location, location, location. The three most important things for our consumer business are technology, technology, technology.
If you're going to invest in an Internet stock, you must be a long-term investor.
I'm skeptical that the novel will be "reinvented." If you start thinking about a medical textbook or something, then, yes, I think that's ripe for reinvention. You can imagine animations of a beating heart. But I think the novel will thrive in its current form. That doesn't mean that there won't be new narrative inventions as well. But I don't think they'll displace the novel.
