“For the majority of their titles, Bonnier have chosen to set terms that make it significantly more expensive for us to buy a digital edition than it is to buy the print edition of the same title,” Amazon said, in a statement sent to GeekWire today. “This is a poor choice because with an e-book, there’s no printing, no over-printing, no need to forecast, no returns, no lost sales due to out of stock, no warehousing costs, and no transportation. E-books can and should be less expensive than print books, and this should be reflected in the terms under which booksellers buy their books from publishers.”

“I used to love doing my voice,” he said. “I had this voice, and every time the phone would ring it would be, um, ‘Hello, Amazon.com … Hello, Amazon.com.’ You know, that was just the standard. And then I would direct the phone call to the right person. And then I would do all the voicemails in the company. So at night if you called in you’d get me saying, ‘You’ve reached Amazon.com outside of our regular reception hours,’ you know, things like that. And everybody used to laugh about my voice because it was real smooth and calming.”
“For most companies, cloud is still a small line item in the larger IT budget,” said Cloudability co-founder J.R. Storment.

“Amazon Fresh is a test. It’s only in Seattle. The customer experience is good. The economics, we’re still tinkering. The reason it’s a test is because we’re still tinkering with the business to try to make the economics acceptable. It’s an expensive service to provide. We’re basically working on it here in Seattle, seeing if we can get it to work. It’s a similar kind of operation to what HomeGrocer did 10 years ago, what Webvan did 10 years ago. We like the idea of it, but we have a high bar on what we expect in terms of the business economics for something like Amazon Fresh in terms of profitability and return on investment capital. We continue to think about that.”

“I don’t think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you’re willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn’t work. If you’re going to invent, it means you’re going to experiment, and if you’re going to experiment, you’re going to fail, and if you’re going to fail, you have to think long term.”
