Amazing ! Most of the Amazon's marketplace strategy is laid out there. It is incredibly consistant with what Amazon is today.
Ranging from focus on delivery time to wholesale accounts, including the importance of attention, it seems very complete to me.
I know Bezos letters to shareholder were thoughtful, but in 1997's edition, the vision laid was less consistent with what we experience today. (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1018724/000119312513151836/d511111dex991.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1018724/000119312513...)
And it is one thing to write a letter with hours of preparation, another to answer a quick video interview with such a clear view. This video is noteworthy !

- mk89 6y agoI thought exactly the same as you. And what surprised me was that he already talked about "it's hard to track" (while talking about ads). The mindset was literally already there, it's like he knew already what, why and build it, except he didn't have maybe the tools he had today. Crazy.
