Most people will look at these pictures of an Amazon warehouse and talk about how big, complicated, and organized it is.I must have been working in finance/supply management publishing for too long, because what I see is no automation, massive amounts of handwork, and those unfortunately oddly sized objects (known as books) which cause trouble for robots to pick and pack, as they would in a proper warehouse. It's sad but bracing to realize that one is never happy with anything.
(Oh, and if this drives you to think of buying something-or-other from that particular retail behemoth, here is a handy link
to allow you to do so.)
