Online sales in the U.S. surpassed $14 billion during Amazon Prime Day last week, according to Adobe Analytics. Amazon’s heft and promotional power continue to drive sales, even for rivals, during the shopping jamboree.

Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino discussed it with Theo Wayt, who covers Amazon for The Information.
