Fire-proof attire recommended.

It also links to this interview:

Wow that Bloomberg interview was just sad. Did she really think that argument would work with the Bloomberg audience? The icing on the cake was when she got offended by the "special snowflake" language. So her argument is that books aren't mere consumer goods, they are "special and unique" but don't call them "special snowflakes" that's offensive.

I'm sure that the Amazon board of directors will be like deer in the headlights when they read that letter. "Is this for real? Am I being punked? Where's Ashton Kutcher hiding?"
