An unsung story for Amazon is the amazing number of jobs they are creating and HAVE created in the past 18 months as they have expanded the number US-based distribution centres.
I'd be a little cautious that they can have such vast revenues and not turn that into actual profit. At some point, they need to ease off on the investment a bit and let the profits catch up. They have a unique opportunity in the online streaming space and now is the time to seize that opportunity (which is what Kindle Fire is all about) so I don't begrudge them. Still ... they need to do better on retaining some profits.
