Amazon launched on July 16, 1995, initially focusing on selling books online. The first website promoted one million titles and offered email notifications for new releases. Jeff Bezos, the founder, chose books due to their vast variety, with an estimated 3 million books in print at that time. The early Amazon team included Bezos and seven employees. Over three decades, Amazon has evolved significantly, expanding its services and workforce dramatically, now employing approximately 1.5 million people.
"When you have that many items, you could literally build a store online that offers a wider selection than any physical bookstore could possibly carry."
"Amazon.com started with 'Welcome to Amazon.com Books!' and promised one million titles, allowing customers to sign up for email notifications on new releases."
