The company has also developed its own line of consumer electronics, including the Amazon Kindle e-reader, the Amazon Echo smart speaker, and the Amazon Fire TV streaming device.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the company's cloud computing platform, offering a variety of services such as storage, computing power, and databases to businesses and individuals. AWS is a significant contributor to Amazon's revenue and profits.

In addition to its core businesses, Amazon has also expanded into digital streaming with Amazon Prime Video, music streaming with Amazon Music, and gaming with Amazon Game Studios. The company has also made significant investments in artificial intelligence and robotics, including the development of its own autonomous delivery drones.

Amazon's success has made Jeff Bezos one of the richest people in the world, and the company has been a major driver of innovation and disruption in the technology and retail industries.
