Amazon.com starting digital bookstore in Brazil
Amazon.com Inc. AMZN +3.18% is poised to open a digital bookstore in Brazil in the fourth quarter that features a Portuguese-language catalog of digital books and the Kindle e-reader, Reuters reported Friday, citing Brazilian publishers and an industry source familiar with the company's plans.
"Brazil would be the first country Amazon enters only with digital (products) and that is because of the logistic and tax difficulties," the industry source told Reuters, adding that the goal is to eventually have a full retail operation in the country.
