About AmazonAmazon is an American electronic commerce and cloud computing company, founded on July 5, 1994, by Jeff Bezos and based in Seattle, Washington. It is the largest Internet-based retailer in the world by total sales and market capitalization. The company sells consumer goods and digital media.
Bezos selected the name Amazon by looking through the dictionary; he settled on "Amazon" because it was a place that was "exotic and different", just as he intended his store to be. Amazon was founded in the garage of Bezos' rented home in Bellevue, Washington. He began shipping books out of his garage in 1995.
In the first two months of business, Amazon sold to all 50 states and over 45 countries. Amazon has since expanded its product line to include electronics, appliances, home furnishings, jewelry, health and beauty products, and food. Amazon also manufactures consumer electronics under its own brand.
The company operates a network of retail websites and development centers in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Amazon also sells certain low-end products under its in-house brand AmazonBasics.
In addition to its own retail websites, Amazon.com operates several other services, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon.com Marketplace, Amazon.com Restaurants, Amazon.com Home Services, and Amazon.com Tickets. Amazon.com also manufactures and sells electronic consumer goods under the AmazonBasics brand.
