books in electronic form -- e-books.

Wylie Agency, in which Wylie gave Amazon the digital

represents, bypassing the original publishers altogether.
13. Conclusion
From the beginning, Bezos sought to increase market share as quickly
as possible, at the expense of profits. When he disclosed his intention to
go from being “Earth's biggest bookstore" to "Earth's biggest anything
store.”
Bezos has predicted that e-books will overtake paperbacks and become
the company's bestselling format within a year. Having already
revolutionized the way the world buys books, Jeff Bezos is now
transforming the way we read them as well.
