2. It means it will now be easier to buy 100 shares of Amazon than it used to be.

I you have 100 shares now, you'll have 2,000 shares after the split. Technically, your holding won't be worth more, but really it probably will. That's only because more people will be drawn to it due to its new lower price per share. I don't know what the share price now is {checking} $2,800, about. So after the split, if prices don't do anything, instead of having one share worth $2,800, you'll have 20 shares worth $140 each. More people, though, will want to buy in at $140 per share, so the price will go up a bit.
