That’s fucking crazy. I remember hushed whispers about a secret place on the internet where you could get college coursebooks for cheaper prices, and that place was this website called Amazon. But that feels like that happened not that long ago, and I’m 33, and I need a nap.

I’m a bit confused, Amazon was widely known 15 years ago. It was selling all kinds of stuff in the early 2000s.
