Which company launched the Amazon Kindle in 2007?

Amazon launched the first Kindle electronic reader in 2007.

Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 as an online bookstore, Amazon initially built its reputation by expanding beyond books into many categories. The Kindle extended that strategy into digital reading, allowing customers to download books through a wireless connection. Amazon later developed several Kindle generations and related reading services.

Amazon is now a diversified company with online retail, logistics, advertising, streaming, devices, and Amazon Web Services. AWS became especially important because cloud infrastructure and software services generate substantial revenue and operating income. The Kindle’s launch is sometimes confused with the introduction of later tablets such as the Fire; the original Kindle was designed primarily as an e-reader using electronic ink.
