At the House hearings into Big Tech, Jeff Bezos wants to tell us how Amazon is good for everyone's bottom line.Amazon is in a unique position during the current U.S. House of Representatives' antitrust hearings. Among the five tech giants testifying and trying to set a defense against any future actions over being a monopoly, Amazon is the only one who sells its own products alongside products from partners.We like to think about Amazon's other tech interests. Amazon produces and distributes movies and shows, its cloud infrastructure is one of the world's biggest, and the company's consumer goods like the Echo or a Fire TV device are in millions of homes across the world. But the main focus of any antitrust investigation into Amazon will be focused on how it treats its third-party sellers on Amazon.com.Jeff Bezos knows this, too, and it's why he opened his testimony to the House Judiciary by reminding us all how much money small companies make because of Amazon. Amazon is a...

Best answer: The total amount of books an Amazon Kindle can hold depends on the amount of storage available, as well as the type and size of the files on the device. Most Kindle devices claim to be able to hold thousands of books. If you want the most storage available, however, you'll want to go for the Paperwhite or Oasis.Foot in the door: Amazon Kindle (From $90 at Amazon)Goldilocks device: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (From $130 at Amazon)Luxury e-reader: Amazon Kindle Oasis (From $250 at Amazon)So just how many books can an Amazon Kindle hold?The short answer is that an Amazon Kindle e-reader can probably hold more books than you'll be able to read —if not in a lifetime, then certainly in a long time. The current batch of Amazon Kindle e-readers come in various configurations and features but offer a minimum of 4GB of onboard storage (2.8GB of which can be used by the customer), and a maximum of 32GB of built-in storage. That may not sound like a lot when compared to a...

Why pay more if you don't need to?Fitness trackers are usually priced well below smartwatches because they tend to offer fewer features, and that's certainly the case here with the new Wyze Band. It doesn't have onboard GPS, nor music storage, nor the ability to respond to app notifications. You can't automatically trigger a workout or engage in step competitions with your buddies.Despite these shortcomings, the Wyze Band does do most of what you'd want or expect a fitness tracker to do, at less than half of the price of market-leading bands like the Fitbit Inspire HR, and less than a third the price of the new Fitbit Charge 4.Are there compromises here? Of course. But the whole package was compelling enough for this Fitbit fan to want to test drive the first wearable from Wyze to see if it might be worth my while. In the process, I learned a lot about what is possible at such an affordable price point, and what sacrifices have to be made to achieve that price.A solid first...

Tens of millions of people across the world use them for protecting their privacy, securing their data, unblocking geo-restricted content and many other reasons.While it's fair to say that many of the best VPNs are geared towards individuals, they're also incredibly useful for businesses that are conscious about their security and privacy online.
