we started working on Kindle almost seven years ago…. There you just
have to place a bet. If you place enough of those bets, and if you
place them early enough, none of them are ever betting the company. By

too long.
If you invent frequently and are willing to fail, then you never get to that point where you really need to bet the whole company.
