IN 1994, Mr. Bezos was a 30-year-old hedge fund analyst with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering from Princeton when he came up with the idea for an online bookseller. He originally planned to call it Cadabra but later realized that it sounded too much like "cadaver." Ultimately, he settled on Amazon, in part because he thought it would convey the vast breadth of books he intended to sell.


Since December 2003 Cadabra.com has been owned by a NZ Tour Operator.
