Your margin is my opportunity.

We are thrilled to have Joe at Amazon.

This review is from: On the Shortness of Life (Penguin Great Ideas) (Paperback)

"I know the title sounds too good to be true and I'm sure is not typical of the average reader's results but for me it truly did change the way I looked at life. I'm sure it was a combination of many thing that have been happening recently with the more people I've met and books I've read but this specific piece was the tipping point for me to really change the way I look at materialism and my time. It was the spark that caused me to quit a 6 figure job and pursue higher goals and more fulfilling work. I am now much more satisfied with life and have actually passed where I was in life held down by trading my time for money to pay the mortgage... a never ending helpless cycle.

Thanks Seneca

It's expensive, but it has a lot of benefits ... for Amazon and Amazon shareholders. It not only saves them on shipping; it changes the way they think about and use Amazon. We've seen significant lift in Amazon Prime members. It's a short-term investment, [but] one of the most important things that we're doing over the long term.

In September, 6 of the 10 top-selling items on Amazon.com were from our electronics store.

We have for five years now declined to predict when Amazon.com might be profitable ... and we are finally answering that question.
