Hello everyone, my name is Jeff Bezos. You might know me as the founder of Amazon. Through this multi-billion corporation, I've been named person of the year by Time magazine and accomplished many other fairly cool things. But more recently, I've be come invested in the idea of e-books, more specifically, the Amazon Kindle.
With the introduction of the Kindle, people began to buy e-readers more and more. Amazon quickly became the forerunner in the e-book revolution. Soon afterward, places like Barnes and Noble introduced their own e-reader, The Nook. Everyone tried to jump on this new way of reading books, and Amazon was really crucial in kick starting that.
So I think it goes without saying that my company was really what started it all. Without Amazon and the Kindle, I wonder if other businesses would have came out with their own e-reader, or if we would have never seen things like The Nook become popular without the competition from Amazon.
It's worth thinking about.
Thank you for your time!
