Amazon is the only one I know that didn’t.

  Honestly, I think their webstore-side is surprisingly weak. As experience that is. Ofc, logistics and so on and AWS is still moving.

  Amazon the web store used to be good. It had good search and it was nigh impossible to get something counterfeit from it. Nowadays it's all people talk about. I think Amazon is very much a victim of its own success and rapid growth.

  They built and presently operate a data center at Langley for the CIA. They started as a bookstore.

    They started out as a bookstore but Bezos had experience in finance, they quickly sold media, and the warehouses were nothing like other bookstores and it looks like it was more a base for larger operations that didn’t anticipate staying a bookstore, the same way their online functionality didn’t stop at a website, AWS and selling other stuff came fast. Sure they were a bookstore first but they over engineered it to scale.
