"I've been a prime member for over 15 years - I LOVE AMAZON! Most of my recent purchases have been dog toys - she loves the HearDoggy toys - and I love them because they squeak for dogs, but humans can't hear them, which makes working from home so much easier. If you reviewed my history, you'd see Kindle books, Alexa products, and Moleskine notebooks because I'm a detailed note-taker and love to keep the hardbound notes to refer to."

"As part of my job interview preparation, I wanted to double-check that my go-to-market knowledge is up to date. So I purchased "Move: The 4 Question Go-To-Market Framework" on Kindle, and read it over the next couple of days. I had a copy of the book in less than 2 minutes and Kindle made it possible for me to start reading immediately!"
