Regarding the URL: Amazon (and just about every public company in the US) outsources the investor relations portion of their site, because it is easier to do so than to integrate the feeds mandated by the SEC on their public site themselves (stock quote, press releases, sec filings, etc). There are 2 major competitors in this space, and the one that Amazon chose has these ugly URLs. I'm surprised that they haven't made this better since that platform (phoenix) was designed in the mid-2000s. I presume that nobody really cares enough to put money into migrating it to a url scheme that is more sensible... the site exists to satisfy the SEC, and serious investors get their news/stock data from other sources anyhow.
