Sincerely,Jeff Bezos -- President, Amazon.com
Greetings and welcome to my bookstore. Aaah, it's a dream come true. I've been one of those people who have needed books in my life ever since I learned to read when three years old. Inevitably, I wanted to own a bookstore. But who could afford it? The overhead, the paperwork, it would just be too complicated. Now, though, with the wonder of the Web and through the good graces of Amazon.com, I actually can have my own bookstore of sorts. All I have to do is the fun part ... picking the books out.
Oh ... and as with any proper bookstore these days, there are also books-on-tape and videotapes mixed in among the selections. If I can figure out how to sit you down on some virtual comfy chairs in a virtual coffee cafe someday, you'll be the first to know.
