Amazon’s shift from electronics retailer to electronics manufacturer was scoffed at by many at the time, but it’s since transformed the company.
Nevertheless, Amazon still has nowhere near as much company-branded hardware as Apple or even Microsoft. It sells the bulk of its Kindles through its own online superstore. It’s managed to get Kindle readers into retail stores all over the U.S. without hanging up a single shingle. So why would Amazon be interested in opening up a boutique shop of its own?
