US tech giant Amazon says that it will stop operating its Kindle e-book store in China next year, closing the chapter on a massive consumer market.
Amazon’s decision to pull the Kindle service comes about eight years after it first set up an official store for the e-book reader on Alibaba’s Tmall platform.
It says that customers can no longer buy new e-books, although those that have been purchased can still be downloaded until June 2024 and will remain readable afterwards.
It did not give a reason for ending the service but said its remaining China businesses would continue to innovate and invest.
