Amazon is the largest online e-commerce company in the United States. It is located in Seattle, Washington. It is one of the earliest companies to engage in e-commerce on the Internet. Founded in 1995, Amazon initially only engaged in online book sales business, but now it has expanded to a wide range of other products.
