Amazon is a big company that started as a bookstore 30 years ago. Now, it sells almost everything you can think of. It has many big buildings called fulfillment centers where they pack and send lots of packages every day. Amazon also has movies and shows on Amazon Prime Video and smart gadgets like Alexa. People use Amazon a lot, and it feels like it's everywhere in our lives.

Amazon was started by a man named Jeff Bezos in 1994. It grew very fast, but some people say it doesn't treat workers well or pay enough taxes. Now, people wonder what Amazon will do next to keep growing. It might use its shopping data to make more money from ads. But it also has to be careful about rules and competition from other companies like Temu and Shein.
