Amazon is the largest online e-commerce company in the United States, headquartered in Seattle, Washington. It was one of the earliest companies to engage in e-commerce on the internet. Founded in 1994, Amazon initially only sold books online but has since expanded into a wide range of other products. It has become the world's largest online retailer by product selection and the second-largest internet company globally. Under the company's umbrella, it also owns subsidiaries such as Alexa Internet, a9, Lab126, and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
Amazon and other sellers offer customers millions of unique new, refurbished, and used items, including books, movies, music and games, digital downloads, electronics and computers, home and garden supplies, toys, baby products, groceries, apparel, shoes and jewelry, health and personal care items, sports and outdoor equipment, toys, automotive and industrial products, and more.
