Amazon Books

Online retailer's physical shops

Amazon Books is the physical retail bookstore chain operated by Amazon, the online retailer.

The stores, which opened starting in 2015, display books face-out with customer ratings and reviews, bridging Amazon's online experience with brick-and-mortar browsing.

Amazon closed most locations in 2022.

The term also refers broadly to Amazon's book-selling business, which began in 1995 and transformed publishing.
