Amazon’s online retail business had revenue of $52.9 billion, up 41%. Third-party seller services like fulfillment and delivery were up 60%, to $23.7 billion (roughly the size ofFedEx).

Amazon is getting considerable attention from regulators and legislators for itspending $8.5 billion bid for film studio MGM.
