On January 4, some netizens broke the news that the Kindle, an e-reader owned by Amazon (AMZN.US), was out of stock in a large area, questioning whether the Kindle wanted to withdraw from the Chinese market.
Subsequently, related topics rushed to the first place in Weibo's hot search.
The reporter search found that in the official self-operated store of the Jingdong platform Kindle, the Kindle classic version priced at 998 yuan and the Kindle premium version of 2757 yuan all showed "out of stock", and only a Kindle youth version priced at 658 yuan was currently on sale. In this regard, the customer service of Jingdong self-operated store said: "The manufacturer is currently out of stock, and the follow-up will be replenished." ”
In addition, the official flagship store of Kindle Tmall cannot search for related products at present.
A search for kindle on Amazon's Official Website in China found that only e-books were still on sale, and e-readers could not search for them.
Subsequently, Amazon responded: "We are committed to serving Chinese consumers. Consumers can purchase Kindle devices through third-party online and offline retailers. The high-quality customer service and warranty services provided by Amazon will not change. The Kindle e-book reader is popular with consumers, and some models are currently sold out in the Chinese market. ”
