Re: How big is amazon?
Amazon is the largest online retailer, but they are still smaller than Wal-Mart. As far as specifics, Amazon gives out some figures and some it withholds. Here are a couple that I know of:
Amazon's Warehouse space in total is 700 times the size of Madison Square Garden.
At it's peak, it sells 306 items per second.
Their total revenue was around $61 billion in 2012 and some analysts expect it to be at $100 billion per year by 2015.
They have 10% of the e-commerce market in the USA.
Those are the only ones I know of, offhand. I have no idea if the numbers you want are available or not. I would tend to think that Amazon considers them proprietary.
