AMZN can not qualify for a gorilla, according to the book's parameters. A gorilla company is one that can corner a market and essentially establish a monopoly, driving others out or forcing them to play by their rules. Microsoft is a prime example. A bookstore is about as anti-gorilla as you can get. No proprietary technology, strong competition, etc. Nothing wrong with AMZN per se (other than its sky-high value), but it is not a gorilla and never will be.
