Amazon.com buys Zappos for $928 Million Dollars

So I'm sure that many people have already heard about Amazon.com buying Zappos for over $900 million dollars. I read Tony Hsieh's letter on the Zappos blog last night. My first reaction was just that as much as Tony insists that Amazon won't bring in the troops and change everything up, who knows... Let's hope that Zappos can maintain its company culture, which has brought it much success over the years and kept both employees and customers alike extremely happy!
