under a business model with many moving parts. First and foremost, the
company sells goods directly. A percentage of products are offered to
buyers through Amazon's online storefront with a small markup, and
inventory is kept in the company's large network of warehouses. Most
consumers visit the company's site assuming its products are less
expensive and readily available for purchase and shipping.

retailers are often less common items or those with a higher purchase
price, allowing Amazon to avoid holding slow-moving inventory that could
dilute profit. The iTunes Store, originally the iTunes
