Amazon Prime Day Sales

Last week we had the Amazon Prime Day and I placed several orders (though still waiting for one of them…). This makes me curious about the Prime Day sales amount. I was able to find the data [here], and this The History of Prime Day page by amazon is also a very interesting read.

I used some tricks to create line chart in curves, to match the amazon smile logo :)
