AMAZON’S WAREHOUSES go far beyond the stockrooms of a typical brick-and-mortar store, housing more than one hundred employees in each location, of which there are dozens across the United States and around the world. Though Amazon still uses these warehouses to support its massive fulfillment needs, it owns a lot of virtual businesses, too, including cloud storage, e-publishing, e-commerce sites like Zappos, and social media like Goodreads, which Amazon bought in 2013.
