Wired News article on AMZN

This is a couple of weeks old, but I didn't see any reference to it in earlier posts.

wired.com

It seems to me that AMZN is going to have problems with its high debt. This debt seems likely to eat up too much of AMZN's cash.

Also, it was interesting to note in the article that AMZN no longer is deriving revenue from employees purchasing stock options, because they are under water.

Anyone care to try to explain how AMZN will get past the problem of the huge debt servicing? How will AMZN get past the issue of its running out of money? It seems very speculative to simply assume that they will be able to raise more money.
