The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad StoneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Like Steve Jobs, this is a fascinating, in-depth look at a complex pioneer entrepreneur of the Information Age. The author relies on multiple interviews with Bezos as well as covering Amazon as a journalist for many years. This gives me a better idea of such complex issues as why the default Text-to-Speech feature fell off the kindle and the attempt to fix e-book prices, violating Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, by publishers. Overall, thought, I came away thinking Bezos a fascist and Amazon a terrible place to work.
