From "Amazon. com." Encyclopedia Britannica. Encyclopedia Britannica Online School Edition. Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc., 2013. Web. 10 Jan. 2013. 'The Kindle Shakes Up Publishing'
By 2010 the rift between book publishers and Amazon. com over the price of e-books had grown. The publishing company Macmillan Books threatened to pull its e-books from Amazon. com, which retaliated by removing all Macmillan books, both printed and electronic, from the site. However, within weeks, Amazon. com capitulated and allowed Macmillan and other publishers to set prices of e-books. In 2009 the company introduced its first publishing line, AmazonEncore, dedicated to popular self-published and out-of-print books. It also let individuals publish their own e-books. In 2011 its e-book ambitions led to the launch of Amazon Publishing with the intent to develop and publish its own titles. That year Amazon. com announced that Kindle e-books were outselling all printed books. While many book publishers continue to derive significant revenue through sales at Amazon. com, the company is no longer considered by publishers merely as another bookseller. It is now also a major competitor in their industry.

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich suggests that ivan ilyich aspired to be part of the elite in society from a young age? a.ivan ilyich was le phenix de la famille as people said. he was neither as cold and formal as his elder brother nor as wild as the younger, but was a happy mean between them—an intelligent polished, lively and agreeable man.b. even when he was at the school of law he was just what he remained for the rest of his life: a capable, cheerful, good-natured, and sociable man, though strict in the fulfillment of what he considered to be his duty: and he considered his duty to be what was so considered by those in authority.c.neither as a boy nor as a man was he a toady, but from early youth was by nature attracted to people of high station as a fly is drawn to the light, assimilating their ways and views of life and establishing friendly relations with them.d.all the enthusiasms of childhood and youth passed without leaving much trace on him; he succumbed to sensuality, to vanity, and latterly among the highest classes to liberalism, but always within limits which his instinct unfailingly indicated to him as correct.e.at school he had done things which had formerly seemed to him very horrid and made him feel disgusted with himself when he did them;
