Continuing Kindle Tragedy: Amazon's Low-priced Tablets Not Entering China

Amazon, the online retailer considered to be Apple’s main competitor in the tablet market, released a Kindle Fire tablet in the United States at a price of US$199. It has attracted the attention of many domestic consumers, but it was related to Amazon. People told reporters that there is no plan or timetable for this cheap tablet to enter China.

Amazon said that there are no obstacles to the introduction of Kindle Fire products in hardware, but one of the major selling points of Amazon's hardware is its complementary cloud services and electronic content services. Therefore, before these services can enter China, they will sell hardware products separately for them. It is not meaningful.

According to reports, the Kindle series of products not only involve hardware sales, but also operations such as e-books, newspapers and periodicals, and require access, publishing, distribution, and other aspects of access. Amazon needs to communicate with relevant government departments.

Prior to this, Amazon's popular e-reader Kindle e-book did not formally enter China. However, this low-priced reader sold well in the domestic parallel market.
