Amazon, Kindle & Audible
Amazon owns Kindle and Audible. As you know, Amazon is a giant. You will be familiar with their only book and products store. But actually, Amazon owns lots of things. It’s so big that some films are now made by Amazon. Amazon also owns Ring – which I personally think is one of the best home security wifi systems out there (as of March 2021). And of course, it’s the creator of Alexa, Echo and the firestick TV. All are amazing devices.
