Why are your novels unpublished? Why not go the Amazon self-publishing route?

After a second reading, it seems you're NOT being sarcastic, but I'll post my response anyways. They're already building their own backbone to their datacenter [1] [2]. Why won't they expand into producing their own ene

Why wouldn't they compete with everyone that is a material cost to them? 10 basis points on their revenues is already approaching $100M/year. My guess is they pay quite a bit more than 10 basis points too (spent a while looking

As Amazon becomes larger and larger, it makes more sense to vertically integrate. Assume half of AMZN's 2013 net shipping costs of $3,538 occurred in U.S. and profit generated thereon was ~10% of revenues (UPS 2013 operating margin was
