The Kindle Store: More Than 400,000 Books

Kindle Book … ? We’ve always been obsessed with getting each and every book ever printed, and we understand that even the best book reader is useless with no books you need to read. We are lucky that we have tens of millions of book customers at Amazon, and because of this, we know the books customers wish to read and we prioritize getting those titles. Today, the Kindle Store has over 400,000 books available, including 101 of 112 New York Times® Best Sellers, plus top newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Our vision for Kindle is to have every book ever printed, in any language, all for sale in less than 60 seconds.
