“It depends where it will open. Usually people want to live close to where they are working. Amazon has young, skilled people who would like to live in a nice area where they can enjoy the weather and have a walkable area, which we have here, but today it’s a little tough to find a space or a spot. They have to think about it. I think that [it would be] very positive for this city and that people are very open for this new investment.” —?Melba Lima, an information technology worker who moved to Pittsburgh from Houston six months ago.
“So we realized that streaming and DVD by mail are becoming two quite different businesses, with very different cost structures, different benefits that need to be marketed differently, and we need to let each grow and operate independently.?It’s hard for me to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary and best: In a few weeks, we will rename our DVD by mail service to ‘Qwikster.'”
“Many e-books are being released at .99 and even .99,” the company says in a new post in the Kindle forums. “That is unjustifiably high for an e-book. 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, no transportation costs, and there is no secondary market — e-books cannot be resold as used books.

I will point out AWS infrastructure is growing very quickly. Capital leases that you’ll see on our financials grew 71 percent on a trailing 12-month basis, and that is primarily for our AWS business, where we’re seeing accelerating usage growth in many of our large services with customers. So that is something we will continue to invest in. And also the additional Prime Benefits that we will continue to expand on — everything from Prime Now to Amazon Fresh, to added selection and faster shipping times.”
“It’s extremely important for us to foster talent everywhere Amazon is, and [in Seattle] we want to be a really good neighbor,” Galetti said. “We know that many of the students here have heard about Amazon, so for us it’s a great opportunity to expose them to some of what we have to offer and hopefully inspire a few minds to want to innovate and maybe invent on behalf of customers with us.”
