amazon was very important to the success of my book. i know that they do lot of internal marketing efforts, they're able to tell what kinds of books people like, and therefore when they recommend a book to one of their customers, it's based on previous uh purchases and previous kinds of books that that person has read. so i do think that that

really helped to get my book in front of potential readers. when publishers became more dependent on amazon, it was basus's turn to change amazon's structure. basos believes that the whole market should be for himself alone. this means the maximum reduction in prices. so amazon announced that from then on, publishers should give more discounts to amazon, which reached up to 50% of the price of the back cover of the book. basus's decision greatly reduced publisher's profits. on the other hand, if a publisher like mcmillen rejected this offer, amazon would remove the purchase option for this publisher's books, or customers wouldn't be able to see mcmillan's books on the front page of amazon's website. which actually

meant the destruction of publishers. another important event in the new century was the of change of amazon's algorithms. earlier, the editors and content producers recommended the books and reviewed them, but since 2000, it was the personalization algorithm that determined which books to recommend to whom. it was based on previous purchases on amazon's the customers, then if amazon were to introduce a book, publishers would have to pay $10,000. according to amazon's contract and confidentiality policies, it will never be known what effect these ads would have on sales. kindle dx wireless reading device worsen the situation for the publishers.

if you're an amazon customer, you're almost always satisfied and will never waste your money. you buy anything at the cheapest possible price. if you change your position and become a supplier for amazon, then the situation will be very. very bad: the price

of audio books on amazon is very low. for example, the audio file of a book, which its printed version costs $20, can be purchased for only $4. you can get some free books as gifts as well. amazon also offers strange subscriptions for its customers. for example, you can buy audio books for your child for. $2.99 per month. if printed, these books are at least 10 times the price. in this situation, it is natural that no publisher can compete with amazon, even other big competitors cannot win in this situation. even the world's technology giant, apple fails as well. in 2010, amazon had 95% of the

audio book market share and apple. wanted to be part of the deal. apple executives arranged meetings with five major publishers and suggested that the pricing ibook be done by the publishers and 30% of the profit would go to apple. meanwhile, besos announced that the price of audio books would be reduced to 99 cents. a few weeks after the decision of the publishers and apple, amazon filed complaints. against these companies in the federal trade commission. in the spring of 2012, the us court of justice found apple and five publishers guilty of conspiring to raise prices and prevent competition. finally, all

publishers negotiated and agreed with the government. amazon's battle with hatchet and the authors that hatchet publishes is heating up.millen and... had to pay $20 million and $75 million respectively. it was a large amounts of money that was difficult to pay in a business that always suffered from lack of profit. apple appealed the supreme court ruling. in the summer of the same year, the judge ruled in favor of the government. and in fact amazon. apple was sentenced to pay $845 million in damages, because the company had violated anti-trust laws according to the government. in fact, the government believed that amazon operated completely based on the

free market and competition rules. however, at the end of the day, amazon monopolized the audiobook market. after this decision, many people talked about besus's secret relationship with american judges and of course the government. exactly 3 weeks after winning the court case against apple, barack obama visited an amazon warehouse in the chattanuga area where workers were paid average of $11 an hour. he praised the creation of decent employment by. amazon, it's great to be here at amazon, everything was coordinated to benefit bases the most. last year, during the busiest day of the christmas rush, customers around the world ordered more than 300 items from amazon every

second. reducing prices is the biggest service that amazon has provided to its customers, however, it was possible to reduce the prices and the cost until a certain time. from then on, he had to play the game based on his own rules. amazon warehouses are built in cities with the highest unemployment rates, with the lowest wages for workers. in recent years, amazon has contributed lot to the employment of americans and has hired 30,000 people a year. workers who enter these warehouses. do not have the right to be members of any union, according to eyewitnesses, they work in strange conditions. you have security cameras right behind you at all times uh that are looking

at you um 24/7 and if you don't meet standards or the rates you're out the door, you're just disposable, every worker has a scanner at all times that basically. back exactly where you're at, and they have a little blue line at the bottom of the screen, and it has like how many seconds that you have to have it done by the time it hit zero, and it puts you into panic mode, and pretty much you can't talk to people, you can't be in the same aisle as them, you just constantly have to sit the scan in like robot all day long, if they catch you not scanning, you get it right up, and what they're doing is they're pretty... this massive data that they are using to be able to analyze the entire workforce. each worker in this

department walks about 11 miles per shift considering such restrictions. the worker has only 33 seconds in order to pack a product in the... us, they hired 47 people for this type of jobs for every $10 million in revenue. this figure for amazon is 14 people for every 10. million dollars. this situation reminds everyone of modern times, directed by charlie chaplin. everyone has only one task to do in these warehouses and there is no such thing as creativity. besos also eliminates publishers to reduce the costs. amazon has been publishing books for many years. if you want your books to be published in audio format, you will receive up to 70% of the revenue. this figure is about 15% in the

printed books of other publishers. publishers are worried about amazon's policy, because right now, it is amazon that has control over everything and has created a kind of monopoly in book industry. when customers and publishers are satisfied, there is no one left to claim anything. the us government also supports. amazon and the us citizens all 130 companies of the amazon group are active in the fashion industry. chain supermarkets, bag and shoe sales, podcast production, cloud storage, books,

photography, data analysis, cinema and several other areas. it is huge organization in which everything exists and that is indicated in the amazon logo. there is yellow arrow that goes from to z. it means that there is everything in amazon, but jeff bezos thinks that you can't find everything in amazon, but amazon in everything itself. when you check imdb site, when you purchase from whole food market, when you buy shoes from zapos, when you buy groceries from amazon fresh, when you buy clothes from from shopbop, when you use aws and check all sites

information of millions of people around the world and has managed to launch amazon's warehouses. amazon warehouses store products that the customer does not know about, but amazon predicts that people will need these products in the near future and... stores them in warehouses near customers houses. he was part of the online revolution that put the future of printed word up in the air. can he help save it? within the last few minutes cnn has learned that jeff bezos, the founder and ceo of amazon.com is buying the washington post. in 2015, jesus bought washington post for $250 million. it was a

strange because bezos was not interested in paper and printing, but he bought the washington post company's newspaper publishing business. when he first visited the washington post, he clearly manifested his feelings. he asked the managers to look for tablet for reading a newspaper. in fact, bezos became more powerful by buying the washington post, now he is a man with lot of money, media. and lot of information. he only needs weapons to create a self-governing government. this deal could give him more influence over politics. nobody hangs out in washington dc just to go to the free museums. you buy a home in washington, you buy a newspaper in washington, because it is the

most influential city in the world, and you want to lay your hands on that power. it is not possible for many people in the world to live without amazon. this company has become so big that others have to adapt themselves to it. it is just like the amazon river, because there is life next to it, but if there is falluvial, people will lose their lives for sure. people's lives. are affected by any small change in amazon, companies that prefer to be a part of amazon instead of confronting it, are best described in a sentence in a flag of sunrise book by robert stone. sometimes the mouse is so afraid that it endangers itself and goes to the cat
