Amazon.com Integration | Amazon Inventory Control
Amazon is the largest online retailer, by far, as measured by its Internet sales revenue in 2010. The company began in 1995 as an online bookstore, but rapidly expanded into music, software, games, electronics, apparel, furniture, toys and more. Today, it is a publicly traded company of worldwide significance, establishing separate websites in eight countries and providing international shipping for many products.
