Evans: Amazon shifted leverage from merchandising selection to logistics fulfillment
“What it used to be was that he would decide what was on the website and then he would pay UPS and USPS to deliver it. And now he doesn't decide what's on the website, but he delivers it and he charges you for delivering. So he's kind of moved downstream.”

“Originally in the early nine, whenever it was like, 94, when Bezos was thinking, was trying to set up Amazon, the original business plan was it was going to do drop shipping. So there'd be no website, no stock, no inventory no infrastructure.”
