Today is the 1 year anniversary of when we announced the marriage between Zappos and Amazon. It's hard to believe it's already been a year! I thought it'd be interesting to read through the original email that I sent out a year ago (Read it HERE ) and comment on it to see whether things happened as planned and promised. The original email is below, along with my comments ***[in brackets and asterisks]. Please set aside 20 minutes to carefully read this entire email. (My apologies for the occasional use of formal-sounding language, as parts of it are written in a particular way for legal reasons.)
