Kindle is Amazon’s #1 bestselling item. It’s also the most-wished-for, most-gifted, and has the most 5-star reviews of any product on Amazon. The most elegant feature of a physical book is that it disappears while you're reading. Immersed in the author's world and ideas, you don't notice a book's glue, the stitching, or ink. Our top design objective is to make Kindle disappear — just like a physical book — so you can get lost in your reading, not the technology.

We have the very same goal in mind when it comes to Kindle software. While we have the Kindle OS software & server-side software on the one hand, on the other we have the content software: the key to reading books on the Kindle. The Kindle team in India provides innovative digital products and services for ingestion and delivery of content on Amazon Kindle and platform services for the rest of the digital products including Amazon Search inside the Book (SITB), Amazon Video on Demand and Amazon MP3. The teams are responsible for Kindle Content Services & Digital Platform Services. Kindle Content Services team provides engineering, support and operational services for periodicals (newspapers, magazines & blogs) and eBook content on Kindle. The Digital Platform Services team provides engineering, support and operational services for all Digital verticals.
