Amazon introduced the first Kindle in 2007 and offered 90,000 eBooks at launch. Kindle sold out in under 6 hours after the announcement. Since then, we have expanded to become the best-selling e-reader family in the world. We have gone beyond Kindle with our powerhouse Fire tablets and Fire operating system. For streaming media lovers, we created Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Fire TV with voice search. Fire TV devices come with access to 500,000 movies, TV shows, and tens of thousands of channels, and apps. In 2014, we introduced the Amazon Echo and Alexa, the voice service that powers Echo and other devices so customers can play music, control their smart homes, and get information, news, weather, and more using just their voice.
