Man in Cyberspace Jeff Bezos turns the bookselling world on its head with his Web shopper's paradise, Amazon.com.
… in the fast-paced world of cyberspace, Bezos, now 43, has always been ahead of the pack. Three years ago he founded what has become the world's most successful Internet retail venture: Amazon.com, a Seattle based online emporium of books and music. Amazon claims 3.1 million customers, 1,100 employees (at first, Bezos and a few helpers shipped books out of his garage) and recently quarterly sales of $116 million.
"Computers are the ultimate tool," says Bezos of his success, "and humans are defined in a certain sense by being tool-using animals."
… when the [World Wide] Web caught fire, Bezos and his wife, MacKinzie, 28, headed west to start Amazon out of their rented suburban house.
"The wake up call," says Bezos, "was reading that the Web was growing 2,300 percent a year."

Imagine that, he started in his rented garage. A multimillion-dollar mail order business started in a rented garage. He didn't have a new, or unique product, he just put his product in reach of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. He opened up shop on the World Wide Web. That was just three years ago, and now $116 million in sales in one quarter.
Now there's a success story. You can bet that Barns and Nobel didn't grow that fast. Wouldn't you like to cash in on that kind of market?
