The 10 Most Stubborn People in Tech 4

Jeff Bezos
Remember when Amazon was mainly an online bookstore? If you do, then you're probably impressed at how well this Web site expanded into its current state. Unlike most companies during the dot-com boom, Amazon said it wouldn't be profitable for years and remained in business while other start-ups fizzled, finally boasting a $5 million profit in 2002. It's branched out in a number of ways since, including offering groceries and online storage, but one of its most surprisingly successful ventures has been the Kindle. Despite skepticism, the devices sold out in five and a half hours at the launch and some estimate that the Kindle could help eBook sales reach $2.5 billion in 2012. Well done again, Bezos.
