This book is the definitive story of Amazon.com, one of the most successful companies in the world, and of its driven, brilliant founder, Jeff Bezos. Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite innovators -- Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg -- Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing. The Everything Store will be the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.-- Publisher information.… (meer)
Continuing my obsession with biographies to be heard during my commute, I randomly picked this book. Definitely a great and insightful look into the life of Bezos and Amazon. I may not personally like him or like to work at Amazon, but I really admire his audacity and grit. This book is a very honest account on Bezos and his quirkiness. ( )
I read a couple of reviews about this book on the internet, wherein the reviewers opined that the author was critical of Amazon. That's not the case. The author has taken a very balanced approach. It is on my all-time business reads category. Fascinating. ( )
A fascinating account of how Jeff Bezos conceived the idea of a universal bookstore, and then developed it into an 'anything, anytime' online store for a whole range of products, from books and music to home and office, hardware, software, streaming entertainment, web services, and so on. The main point is that this massive company was built, not by being a nice guy, but by a ruthless drive and focus that destroyed many existing, traditional, concerns by relentless under-cutting and acquisitions. The benefit of low prices and fast shipping are, of course, the delight of those who take the risk of ordering online supported by a no-questions return or replacement policy and a superb user interface.

I finished this book yesterday in my doctor's office on my newest Kindle. I'm sitting here typing this as I just finished ordering merchandise off of Amazon Prime. I admit it--I both love and loathe Amazon and Bezos. Brad Stone has done an excellent job of laying out the story of the Bezos vision with a fair and balanced look at the company's history, practices and possible future. ( )

Quand vous avez atteint l’âge de 80 ans et que vous retracez pour vous-même les grandes lignes de votre existence afin d’en comprendre le sens, le plus parlant restera assurément les choix que vous avez faits dans votre vie. Ce sont eux qui, à l’arrivée, modèlent chacun de nous. Jeff Bezos, discours à l’université de Princeton, 30 mai 2010
