Episode Teaser Image:
Episode Description:
Amazon used to be just a website where you could buy things and have them sent to you. Increasingly, Amazon is making the things themselves as well. The president of Staples says five or six new Amazon tablets are on the way to go with the Kindle reader and the Kindle Fire tablet.
