Are you kidding? Amazon's profits are nothing. 239m for their first profitable quarter in years. On 17 billion in sales.

Amazon gives two shits about customers - they're following the Google business model, whereby you drive all the profit out of an industry so that nobody will compete with you when you're the only firm left. Apple gets clobbered when they declare quarterly profits of only 13 billion dollars, but if you add up all the profit Amazon has ever made you don't even make it to $5b.
