    About this ebook

    As an undergrad, I had dabbled in research for Amazon and its owner Jeff Bezos having been obsessed with Amazon since shortly after its launch. As a grad student, I knew I wanted to dive a bit deeper into the Amazon world and do a few short thesis projects on the company. As I dove in, I found that there were a lot of missing pieces to the puzzle of information of which I needed to fill in the blanks. Peer reviewed journal were pretty much non-existent for the question I had about Jeff Bezos and Amazon. 

    Hopefully this book will help fill in a few of those blanks for you. This book is to act as a guide only. It is meant to help you in your research and studies of Amazon. Think of it as study notes, like Cliff Notes, for Amazon. Author is not held responsible for any grades resulting in use of work.

    Jeffrey Preston was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on January 12, 1964 as written in King of Amazon.  When Jeff was a year old, his parents divorced and he’s never had contact with his biological father.
