74 billion U.S. dollars in sales in 2013, of which 25 billion in the Christmas quarter, a net profit of 274 million U.S. dollars, compared to a loss in the previous year – the new financial figures Amazon Read so not bad. In particular, the Kindle Business Analysts and shareholders but cause for concern.
Amazon has been able to increase its sales by 20 percent, compared to the full year 2012 and 2013 by as much as 22 percent on a quarterly basis. Sales growth, however, is distributed unequally: while the North American business grew by 28 percent, there were international “only” 14 percent
.
analysts had expected a little more sales and profits, after trading hours of the Amazon price dropped last Thursday evening after the market close to 10 percent were at times. After Amazon.com presented in an analysts call an increase in the Prime membership fee by 20 to 40 U.S. dollars in view (including in the U.S. with $ 79 in any case much more expensive than ours, but also much more media and services) , the price recovered quickly but again, outlines the New York Times. Currently the stock is post-trade by 4.6 percent in the red after it has however risen during the day in anticipation of the numbers 4.8 percent.

While the competition is fierce in the tablet range, Amazon can be safe in the eBook reader market leadership of its range, although in this country the Tolino Alliance presses the top dog. Apart from Australia came in 2013, however, no significant new “Kindle market,” added, and the Occupied markets are increasingly saturated.
