On the 12th of January it was his birthday and I am sure you forgot it. Now its time to make up and give a birthday present to the man who gave us Amazon.

Before I continue let me ask you something. Wouldn’t be a bit odd if you have a friend who owns a bookstore and you buy him for present a book from his bookstore? Surely this is not right. Jeff Bezos in his Profile in Amazon he has a wish list for all those that want to buy him a present.

To be honest I did thought of buying him a book (the cheapest I could find) and make an article “I bought Mr. Amazon a present” and not a “Buy Mr. Amazon (Jeff Bezos) a Present”. Last minute though I kind of “chickened out” from spending 7 euros for someone that I do not know and is so rich :) I guess, if you think of it a bit proportionally, if I buy him a book then the least that he should buy me would be a Porsche :)

So for whom ever wants to buy Mr. Amazon something, he has 11 things in his wish list and the cheapest item is a book called ?Magic School bus inside the earth? for only $6 (and about $5 for postage). I imagine the $5 will go as a tip to the guy who will take the book from Amazon warehouse all the way up to the “big boss” office.
