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 kind. 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. basus believes that... "the whole market should be for himself alone, this means the maximum reduction in prices, so amazon announced that in 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 mcmillan 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 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 and amazon's knowledge of the customers. then, if amazon were to introduce a book, publishers would have to pay $10,00. according to amazon's contract and confidentiality of 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. to buy anything at the cheapest

possible price, if you change your position and become a supplier for amazon, then the situation will be 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, baizos 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 publish. negotiated and agreed with the government. amazon's battle with hatchet and the authors that hatchet publishes is heating up. mcmillan and penguin 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 dollars 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 basus'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 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 and at all times that basically track 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..." the same aisle as them, you just constantly have to sit the scanning like robot all day long, if they catch you not scanning, you get it right up, and what they're doing is they're producing 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. 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. basos also eliminates publishers to reduce the cost. 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 shopbop, when you use aws and check all sites to buy online products, you're actually active in amazon and help jeff bezos get richer. when you watch a movie on netflix, you're actually helping bezos, because netflix uses aws. that is why jeff bezos is the richest man in the world news tonight, a stunner from the richest man in the world. bezos knows people's interests because he's well aware of their taste in choosing books. in fact, bezos was one of the first people to... was the most valuable thing in cyberspace and the internet. many experts believe that selling

books was just a way for besos to collect information from people. besos now owns the 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 their user and sold them in warehouse customer houses. he was part of the online revolution that put the future of printed word up in the air, can it 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, jeff bezos 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 manager: 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. 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 filuvial, people will lose their life. 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 itself. it seems that the cat and mouse game has entered new era.

is my land and my country, it is not only the 1948 or 1967 borders from the sea to the river, i am not ready to let go of a centimeter. israel is here like any for by the support of the europe, by the support of the united states, that's why the land, well i was at the babo sham's protest last week and i myself had my head banged against. by soldier illegally on illegal stolen lands and they are arresting us the palestinians this is historical palestine.

plane. you have never left gaza. you know only the densely packed streets and alleys, the concrete hovels. you know only the security barriers and fences patrolled by soldiers that surround gaza. planes for you are terrifying. fighter jets, attack helicopters, drones, they circle above you, they drop missiles and bombs. deafining explosions, the ground shakes, buildings fall, the dead, the screams, the muffled calls for help, from beneath the rubble, it does not stop, night and day, trapped under the piles of smashed concrete, your

playmates, your schoolmates, your neighbors, gone in seconds, you see the chalky faces and limp bodies when they are dug out, i am a reporter, it is my job to see this, you are a child, you should never see this, stench of death, rotting corpses under the broken concrete, you hold your breath, you cover your mouth with a cloth, you walk faster, your neighborhood has become a graveyard, all that was familiar is gone, you stare, in amazement, you wonder where you are, you are afraid, explosion, after explosion, you cry,

"it makes you very sick. your stomach hurts, you're hungry. the bakeries are destroyed, there is no bread. you eat one

meal a day, pasta, cucumber, soon. this will seem like feast. you do not play with your soccer ball made of rags. you do not fly your kite, made from old newspapers. you have seen foreign reporters, we wear flack jackets with the word press written on them, we have helmets, we have cameras, we drive jeeps, we appear after bombing or shooting, we sit over a coffee for a long time and talk to the adults, then we disappear, we do not usually interview children, but i've done interviews when groups of you crowded around. us, laughing, pointing, asking us to take your picture, i have been bombed by jets in gaza,

i have been bombed in other wars, wars that happened before you were born, i too was very, very scared, i still have dreams about it, when i see the pictures of gaza, these wars return to me with a force. of thunder and lightning, i think of you, all of us who've been to war, hate war most of all, because of what it does to children. i tried to tell your story, i tried to tell the world that when you are cruel to people, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade, when you deny people freedom and dignity, when you humiliate and trap them an open-air prison, when you kill

them, as if they were beasts, they become very angry, they do to others what was done to them. i told it over and over. i told it for seven years, few listened, and now this. there are very brave palestinian journalists. 50 of them have been killed since this bombing began. they are heroes, so are the doctors and nurses in your hospitals, so are the un workers, almost hundred of whom have been killed, so are the ambulance drivers and medics, so are the rescue parties that lift up the slabs of concrete with their hands, so are the mothers and fathers who shield you from the bombs, but we are not there, not

this time, we cannot get in. "we are locked out. reporters from all over the world are going to the border crossing at raffa. we are going because because we cannot watch this slaughter and do nothing. we are going because hundreds of people are dying a day, including over hundred children. we are going because this genocide must stop. we are going because we have children like you. precious, innocent, loved. we are going because we want you to live. i hope one day we will meet. you will be adult, i will be an old man, although to you i am already very old. in my dream for you, i will find you free and safe and happy.

no one will be trying to kill you. you will fly in airplanes filled with people, not bombs. you will not be trapped in a concentration camp. you will see the world, you will grow up and have children. you will become old. you will remember this suffering, but you will know it means you must help others who suffer. this is my hope, my prayer. "we have failed you. this is the awful guilt we carry. we tried, but we did not try hard enough. we will go to raffa, many of us, reporters. we will stand outside the border with gaza and protest. we will

write and film, this is what we do. it is not much, but it is something, you will tell your story again, maybe it will be enough earn the right to ask for your forgiveness. thank you. iran and turkmanistan do not consider themselves just neighbors, but relatives through. ages, they have bolstered their ties from culture economy and science and technology and a myriad other fields, yet they have set the stage for bolder steps in order to faster vibrant trade ecosystem between the two nations and make the region an energy hub. iranian entrepreneurs
