What is the $337M in "marketable securities" that makes up the bulk of AMZN's assets?

eb,

That is cash from the junk bond deal and from acquisitions that is placed in possibly a bond or some other security with ready access. It could be cash in the bank if they did not wish to try and obtain a better return. The otherside of the coin, is that the debt exceeds the marketable securities.
