Which company created the Kindle e-reader?

Amazon created the Kindle e-reader.

Amazon introduced the first Kindle in November 2007. The device was designed for downloading and reading electronic books, with wireless access to Amazon’s Kindle Store. Its screen used electronic ink, a display technology intended to resemble printed paper and consume less power than conventional backlit screens.

The Kindle became part of Amazon’s wider digital-content ecosystem, which includes e-books, audiobooks, and publishing services. The original device sold out quickly after launch, helping establish dedicated e-readers as a mainstream consumer category. Kindle is a product line, not a separate publicly traded company, so its commercial success contributes to Amazon’s broader business rather than creating a distinct market capitalization.
