Publisher Description:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Amazon.com, Inc. is a US-based multinational electronic commerce company. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, it is America's largest online retailer. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon.com, Inc. in 1994 and launched it online in 1995. The name Amazon.com was chosen because the Amazon River is the largest river in the world, and so the name suggests large size. Amazon.com started as an online bookstore, but soon diversified, selling DVDs, CDs, MP3 downloads, computer software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, and toys. A 2009 survey found that Amazon was the UK's favorite music and video retailer, and third overall retailer. This book studies the massive online store, Amazon.com, including AbeBooks, PlanetAll, Shelfari, lexcycle, Gurupa, Library Thing, and Amazon Fishbowl.
