Amazon starts print book sales in Brazil

Amazon has started selling print books in Brazil two years after the launch of its digital bookselling business in the country. In a statement on Amazon.com.br, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos said the website would offer ‘the largest and most convenient site’ for finding and buying print and digital books at ‘low prices’. It will also offer a ‘Read While Ship’ feature and free shipping on orders over R$69 (A$33). Earlier this year, Amazon signed a contract with the Brazil Ministry of Education to convert print books to digital and ‘wirelessly distribute’ them to teachers across the country using Whispercast technology.
