I wouldn’t go so far as to echo the sentiments raised in this popular post claiming that Amazon has ruined the Seattle dating scene (ruined is a strong word in my opinion), but its growth has changed the overall profile of young professionals in the city.

“It’s also important to understand that e-books are highly price-elastic. This means that when the price goes up, customers buy much less. We’ve quantified the price elasticity of e-books from repeated measurements across many titles. For every copy an e-book would sell at .99, it would sell 1.74 copies if priced at .99. So, for example, if customers would buy 100,000 copies of a particular e-book at .99, then customers would buy 174,000 copies of that same e-book at .99. Total revenue at .99 would be ,499,000. Total revenue at .99 is ,738,000.”

“Let’s say we get it,” she said. “City Council will be looking to approve but what person on City Council is going to be like, ‘no?’ We just got somebody saying they’re going to invest this much and 50,000 new jobs and I’m going to be the one who says no because we didn’t write the correct deal?”

“Starbucks is probably best positioned, given our national footprint, the demography of our customers, and where we’re located to have those kinds of conversations,” Schultz noted. “I think it would be premature to kind of get into who they are, but clearly, we are a very viable partner, given the change in the industry.”

“It’s a big deal for the community that streams every day or relies as a business on what Mixer did. For a lot of people, there’s a lot of uncertainty.
