Amazon has created new markets. The article mentions Kindle and AWS. The ebook reader and ebooks did not (really) exist before Kindle. Same with AWS.

True. There are exceptions to the statement I made, which is why I pointed out that it's not wholly fair. In fact, Amazon's entire existence can in many ways be said to have been the creation of a new market.

Even still, I think it's fair to say that Amazon primarily innovates these days through rapid and extensive iteration, especially on its consumer side.
