Previously, the US tech giant Amazon stopped its Kindle online service in China on June 30, 2023, as planned. This decision was taken a year ago. This means that Kindle users will no longer be able to buy new books online, but they will still be able to download the purchased books to their local devices within a year.
Amazon also said that it will officially remove the Kindle app from Chinese app stores on June 30, 2024. Until this date, users can also continue to download Kindle content from the cloud.
According to media reports, the Kindle e-reader was born in 2007 and is considered one of Amazon's most successful hardware products. Thanks to the use of an e-paper screen, the Kindle is considered eye-friendly and easy to read, combining the experience of a paper book with the convenience of an e-reader. In the years since the Kindle e-reader, e-books have become one of Amazon's fastest-growing categories and have set off a global e-book reading boom.
In 2013, Kindle officially entered China and once became synonymous with e-books, favored by many literary and artistic youths. In 2018, the development of Kindle readers in China reached its peak, with annual sales exceeding one million.
It was also reported that Amazon had actively sought to expand its Kindle business in China, and in 2018, an internal Amazon document said that by the end of 2017, China had become the largest market for Kindle, with device sales accounting for more than 40% of the global market share.
Amazon has said in its official statement that it is adjusting its business strategic focus and that other business lines in China will continue. "Amazon China's long-term commitment to customers will not change. We have established an extensive business base in China and will continue to innovate and invest. The company's statement said.
In addition, Amazon also closed its Chinese online store in 2019 due to the sluggish performance of its online retail business. The Company's remaining businesses in China include cross-border e-commerce, advertising and cloud services, among others.
