Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is an American e-commerce company based in Seattle, Washington. It was one of the first major companies to sell goods over the Internet and was one of the iconic stocks of the late 1990s dot-com bubble. After the bubble burst, Amazon faced skepticism about its business model, but it made its first annual profit in 2003.

Name:	Kindle
Product URL:	http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Original-Wireless-generation/dp/B000FI73MA
Date Launched:	11/2007
Description:	Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle. We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both "lefties" and "righties" can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

Name:	Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
Product URL:	http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/
Date Launched:	08/2009
Description:	Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is a secure and seamless bridge between a company’s existing IT infrastructure and the AWS cloud. Amazon VPC enables enterprises to connect their existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, and to extend their existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include their AWS resources. Amazon VPC integrates today with Amazon EC2, and will integrate with other AWS services in the future. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no long-term contracts, minimum spend or up-front investments required. With Amazon VPC, you pay only for the resources you use.

Who in their right mind would want to buy books online?? 1 comment Add Comment	ywong137 04/22/2008		17% 6 votes 1 83% 5
I have bought over 20 books online this past year. It's much easier than going to a bookstore like Borders and searching through the store for a book you may or may not find.	steven	07/29/2008

Very true, It's tough not being able to use Amazon in Asia and some parts of Europe.	stefanusvandersaar	07/29/2008
