In an interview, Bezos indicated that books were chosen as Amazon.com\'s first product category "because they offered so much selection"; 贝佐斯在接受记者采访时说，“图书被选为亚马逊的第一产品类别，是“因为它们提供了多种选择”；

in the same interview, Bezos stated," I think the main thing that has differentiated Amazon.com from conventional retailers is its obsessive and compulsive focus on the end-to-end customer experience. That includes having the right products, the right selection, and low prices." 他同时还表示，“我认为把亚马逊和传统的零售商区别开来的主要原因是：我们全力满足顾客的需求。这包括正确的产品，正确的选择，以及低廉的价格。”
