“I mean, nobody at the beginning had any clue how big Amazon could become,” Kaphan told GeekWire’s John Cook. “Nobody. Certainly not Jeff. I have spreadsheets of his projections from when he was trying to hire me. And I don’t remember the specific numbers, but it was a lot, lot smaller than it turned out to be.”
“Even though our bread and butter is short-form content (think magazines and periodicals), we share many of the same challenges as the other book publishing companies. We’re beholden to Amazon’s pricing decisions, our readers expect the same reading experience regardless of device, and getting high quality content in the front door and through the sausage making machine in a timely manner continues to be a challenge.
“Amazon offers a major benefit to advertisers, especially CPG and direct-to-consumer [D2C] brands,” eMarketer forecasting director Monica Peart said in a statement. “The platform is rich with shoppers’ behavioral data for targeting and provides access to purchase data in real time. This type of access was once only available through the retail partner to share at their discretion. But with Amazon’s suite of sponsored ads, marketers have unprecedented access to the ‘shelves’ where consumers are shopping.”
“I guess we should have schooled them a bit about a phasing-in process and not to bunch up at the listing house door,” said Dick Beeson, principal managing broker, RE/MAX Professionals in Tacoma, Wash. He added that “The real estate sky isn’t falling” for sellers.

It’s such a global company now, it’s not just synonymous with Seattle. Granted we’re headquartered here, but I used to work at Boeing and they moved to Chicago and people were up in arms about it, but you get over it. As long as there’s jobs here and there’s jobs elsewhere. I think the millennials are a little bit more mobile and if another job picks up elsewhere — same opportunity, same salary, that sort of thing — I wouldn’t see people being opposed to that that are already in the company.”

“Bold steps by big companies will make a huge difference in the development of new technologies and industries to support a low carbon economy,” Christiana Figueres, the UN’s former climate change chief and founding partner of Global Optimism, said in a statement. Figueres joined Bezos at the press conference.
“I believe that forgetting the suffering of the past may lead to disasters in the future,” said Wu Xianbin, curator of the museum. “Though 70 years have passed since the trial, it still reminds us to worship civilization and fight against war.”
“If they’d found a way to label China, it would have hurt (market) sentiment further,” said Shahab Jalinoos, Credit Suisse Group AG’s global head of FX trading strategy. “But this being a yawn, if anything it should make markets more comfortable” with emerging market risk.
“I happened to be over here and I thought it was convenient, but also I like to come into stores so I can try stuff on to make sure that it fits properly because I don’t want to have the hassle of sending it back.
