The history of the Kindle in Australia
Kindle is designed from the ground up for reading. Amazon launched Kindle in Australia in 2009 with the vision of offering every book, ever written, in any language, all available within 60 seconds. We spent more than three years building the original Kindle—a first-of-its-kind portable reader that looked and read like real paper, even in bright sunlight.
Amazon Marketplace
Selling on Amazon Marketplace enables individuals and businesses of all sizes to reach millions of customers instantly when they sell their products on Amazon. Sellers on Amazon can list their products entire range of products featured right alongside items carried by Amazon.
Fulfillment by Amazon
Launched in 2006, Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is now used by millions of sellers around the world. FBA launched in Australia in February of 2018, meaning that businesses can now benefit from Amazon’s logistics capabilities, helping them quickly and efficiently reach customers across Australia.
Amazon Web Services
We built Amazon Web Services (AWS) and became one of its biggest customers because we wanted to move faster. Before AWS, we had teams working on new ideas for the business and we found that they kept reinventing the wheel.
