Amazon uses its own business model – again

How serious is it with its own hardware Amazon, already illustrates the recruiting side of the Lab126. About 200 jobs are advertised here, most listings are only a few days old and the annual salaries of the employees wanted six figures to a great extent. A similar recruitment drive was last seen before the introduction of the Kindle Fire.
Where this is the product to make themselves the Kindle in the shade, of course, is highly speculative – an exceptional smartphone would be a possibility, a Smart TV is another. It is clear that Amazon continues to take a lot of money for innovation in the hand and still does not hesitate to undermine his own business model. Even with the Kindle they released a product that attacked the then main earner of the company (the sale of printed books) directly.
