We believe that over time this could turn into a significant business for Amazon, significant revenue stream for publishers and authors and a helpful customer service for readers,
With this launch, our goal is to give customers the Amazon.com experience -- everything from one-click shopping and helpful information to the high level of customer service we traditionally provide -- in the two important categories of toys and electronics.
We will continue to invest in systems, people and product expansion, each of which helps us better serve customers, ... For the rest of 1999, we expect to invest more heavily than we have in the past.
