Amazon, Apple, Google markets

Olivier pointed out an article on twitter this morning: Five lessons Apple can learn from Amazon. I have the feeling that the article is missing entirely the point, because Amazon and Apple are not playing in the same markets:

  • Amazon is using a device to sell books.
  • Apple is using books to sell a device.

It’s two different markets.

The strategy of Apple has always been the same: What can I do to sell more devices?
