Amazon History

Amazon.com is the world wide leader in retail with six global sites for regional markets. Amazon .com started in the US but the UK web store's origins were in the independent online book store known as Bookpages which was established in 1996 and was acquired by Amazon .com in 1998. By autumn 1998 the new look UK Amazon store was launched offering over one million titles in print to online customers within the UK site with the determination to offer the widest range of choice online at low prices. Within a year of launching on the Internet they had a reported annual sales level of £100 million and they reached the 1 millionth customer not long afterwards. Today Amazon remains one of the most popular UK sites and are constantly enhancing their product range - driven by their ethos to become a place where people can find and discover anything they might want to buy online. Amazon .com strives to be a truly focussed customer company.
