For Amazon, continuous development and innovation, the sole purpose is to provide consumers with better services to help consumers better finish the shopping process.

Amazon started to retail, hardware manufacturing is not its strengths, but over the years it has invested in technology research and development of hundreds of millions of dollars. The face of e-books such a foreground of the market, Amazon realized that the biggest barriers to entry there are two, one is that people's traditional reading habits.

1. For the public, reading a paper book is not only a habit, it can even be said to be a way of life.

2. For consumers to accept the new way of reading, it must respect its original habits, based on the creation of a better reading experience. Second, although the market has some electronic reader, but there are a variety of shortcomings, cannot meet the needs of consumers. Last year, they provided new way to sipping items which is unmanned plane in UK. It is only take 30mins receive your order after you place an order online.

However, they can create mini Amazon Web sites if they want to, building on Amazon's huge database of products and applications for their own purposes. When any purchases go through Amazon, you can build a site called Amazonish.com, include in the products directly from Amazon's services, write your own guides and earn a cut of any sales. Now, Amazon has become a software developer's playground to expand its potential.

Amazon has the special highlight on its customer service, this is another component that stands amazon's position. As a worldwide online based system store, customer's only way to communicate is responsible customer services agent. By providing a careful customer service, amazon wins' customer's mind.
