Amazon responded to Kindle's exit from China: it could also buy hardware through a third party

Beijing News Shell Financial News (reporter promised) On January 4, on the matter of "kindle closing stores, out of stock and even may withdraw from China", Amazon China responded exclusively to shell financial reporters: "We are committed to serving Chinese consumers." Consumers can purchase Kindle devices through third-party online and offline retailers. The response also pointed out that some models of the Kindle e-book reader are currently sold out in the Chinese market.

This response confirms the exclusive video report of the Beijing News Shell financial reporter (all-platform account: Nagging TechTalk) about the cut of the kindle hardware team. A few days ago, the reporter searched on the e-commerce platform and found that the official flagship store of Amazon Kindle Tmall was closed at the end of October 2021 and has not yet recovered. On Jingdong's self-operated flagship store, except for a low-end model, Kindle products are out of stock. A number of independent sources within Amazon China revealed to reporters that the company's Kindle hardware team was laid off in November last year. The above changes, after the video report of the Beijing News Shell financial reporter, continued to ferment to the first place in the hot search, and even triggered the speculation about "kindle withdrawal from China".

Amazon China also stressed in its response that the high-quality customer service and warranty services provided by Amazon will not change.
