Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite innovators -- Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg -- Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing. The Everything Store will be the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read. - Publisher. 000471145 60010 $$aBezos, Jeffrey. 000471145 61020 $$aAmazon.com (Firm)$$xHistory. 000471145 650_0 $$aElectronic commerce$$zUnited States. 000471145 650_0 $$aBusinessmen$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000471145 650_0 $$aBooksellers and bookselling$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000471145 650_0 $$aInternet bookstores. 000471145 85200 $$bgen$$hZ473.A485$$iS76$$i2013 000471145 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:471145$$pGLOBAL_SET 000471145 980__ $$aBIB 000471145 980__ $$aBOOK
