Damn! What a nice, bookish tycoon
Article Abstract:
Jeff Bezos, founder of online book retailer Amazon.com, feels that he would have had regrets if he had not exploited the potential offered by the Internet. There were many challenges associated with setting up the company, and sales were initially on a very small scale. However, the company has expanded rapidly since then, and now has sales of around $600 million a year. Bezos is keen to move the business into new areas, including online video retailing.
