Why subscribe?

I’m starting this newsletter first and foremost because I wanted to read something like it. It’s a one-stop shop for the most important and/or most interesting news about Amazon, one of the biggest and most influential companies in the world.

Updates every week

At this point, a weekly schedule feels manageable and readable. If news and interest warrant more frequent updates, we’ll revisit it.

Stay in the know

It’s a chance to be part of a community of readers with a common interest, and to read what all of them are reading. I’m hoping that the newsletter will be an interactive one, with readers contributing ideas and reactions to the stories and analysis I’m sharing.

Subscribe to Amazon Chronicles

A weekly (for now) round-up of news about Amazon and the industries in its shadow.
