Black Friday see store specials
What started as Earth's biggest bookstore has rapidly become Earth's biggest anything store. Expansion has propelled Amazon.com in innumerable directions. The firm's main Web site offers millions of books, music, DVDs, and videos (which still account for the majority, more than 60%, of the firm's sales), not to mention auto parts, toys, tools, electronics, home furnishings, apparel, health and beauty aids, prescription drugs, groceries, and services including film processing. Long a model for Internet companies that put market share ahead of profits, Amazon.com also made acquisitions funded by meteoric market capitalization and is now focused on profits. Founder Jeff Bezos owns about 24% of the firm.

Pros
- Amazon prime trial membership means free shipping for a while on anything stocked by Amazon.com
Cons
- Made people put in their converter box coupon number before allowing them to browse what was available, rendering the coupon useless elsewhere
- Possibly took converter box money from the government without actually selling converter boxes to some people
- Won't tell you a product is on back order until after you pay for it
