From Keith Benjamine:

"Given the company's dramatic investments in new businesses and in building the
infrastructure to maintain and widen its lead, we believe it has been difficult
for investors to appreciate how powerful this business model can be over time.
During Q4, operating margins (excluding M&A costs) improved nearly seven
percentage points to (7.0%) from (13.7%) in Q3. However, hidden in this
improvement is an even more substantial improvement in profitibility in the
company's core book business. Specifically, Amazon.com's U.S. book business was
profitable during December. This profitibility was achieved, in part, through
efficiencies given the larger scale of the business and an increased portion of
direct purchased inventory which provides much higher margins."
