Reviews the evolution of the company’s business model through an interview with the founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos. At its founding, Amazon.com mostly brokered book purchases through its Web site.

Examines Amazon’s growth, fueled by the Internet bubble, and looks at how the company coped with increased scrutiny on profitability.
