STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px">Competition

Our businesses are rapidly evolving and
intensely competitive. Our current and potential competitors include: (1) physical-world retailers, publishers, vendors, distributors, manufacturers and producers of our products; (2) other online e-commerce and mobile e-commerce sites,
including sites that sell or distribute digital content; (3) a number of indirect competitors, including media companies, Web portals, comparison shopping websites, and Web search engines, either directly or in collaboration with other
retailers; (4) companies that provide e-commerce services, including website development, fulfillment and customer service; (5) companies that provide infrastructure web services or other information storage or computing services or
products; and (6) companies that design, manufacture, market or sell digital media devices. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our retail businesses include selection, price, and convenience, including fast and reliable
fulfillment. Additional competitive factors for our seller and developer services include the quality, speed, and reliability of our services and tools. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater resources, longer histories, more
customers, and greater brand recognition. They may secure better terms from vendors, adopt more aggressive pricing and devote more resources to technology, fulfillment, and marketing. Other companies also may enter into business combinations or
alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.
