No dividends, ever, and no plans to start one
I looked at AMZN back in May and giggled at what I found. No dividends ever, and no plans to start one that I could find, so the only value it has is in capital growth - that is, hoping that you find someone to sell it to later who ascribes a higher value to it. Whilst that's by no means impossible, as Amazon seem to still be in the "grow as big as we can by doing everything we can thing of" phase and maybe one day they'll decide they're big enough and start providing some actual value to the stockholders, there are better options to be found. I put my dosh into ARM instead, which is a company still growing AND actually has a dividend (small, granted, but it shows their heart is in the right place i.e. giving me money). They're up 70% since then, which I promptly splurged on hookers n' coke.
