- Ebooks are the most important invention of the XXIth century.
- Jeff Bezos is a God.
- A bunch of weird corporate tactics worked for us at the time so they are lessons on how to make a successful product.
- dm319 6y agoYes, there's definitely a bit of survivorship bias going on here. The lesson isn't to compete with yourself, or ignore all of your advisors, or trying to pivot your business model after a crash etc etc. There are plenty of businesses who have failed doing all these things. I suspect that Jeff Bezos had a vision, and these are more side effects rather than the reason for its success.
- switch11 6y agoSome of the stuff they say are completely inaccurate He claims Kindle as the first ereader to use an eInk screen Sony ereader launched a YEAR before and had an eink screen Also this guy seems to be a worshipper rather than an unbiased or somewhat objective observer
- mattm 6y agoYeah people might want to read "The Inside Story Of Jeff Bezos’s Fire Phone Debacle" for a counterpoint https://www.fastcompany.com/3039887/under-fire https://www.fastcompany.com/3039887/under-fire
