    AWS makes a lot but the retail side is still the lion’s share of revenue.

      Are you sure about that? I thought I remembered someone throwing around numbers for amazon and something like 80% of profit was aws. Revenue doesn’t seem as much of an important issue as pure profits.

        If Amazon’s entire retail side died, they would be totally fine. AWS is incredible in its reach. It’s really alarming.

        So the last I looked it was 60 retail, 40 AWS. However it looks like it’s switched and now it’s more like 60 AWS 40 retail.
