Amazon Prime Day 2023: Deals Available June 21 And 22
NEW YORK - Amazon said that it will hold its annual Prime Day over two days in June this year, the earliest it has ever held the sales event. This year, Prime Day will be held from June 21 to June 22 in 20 countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, Brazil, Italy and Japan. Typically, Amazon holds Prime Day in July. Amazon has said it was holding it earlier due to the Olympics, which starts next month and take people's attention away. Last year, Amazon postponed Prime Day to October because of the pandemic and used the sales event to kickoff holiday shopping early. "Prime Day is a celebration of our Prime members, and we’re excited to bring members great Deals (beautydrops.shop) across an incredible selection, whether members want to shop and save on top brands, buzzworthy items, or small business collections," said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime. Amazon Fashion started the sales event in 2015 as its answer to Singles’ Day, a shopping holiday in China popularized by Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba. It's a way for Amazon to get people to sign up for its $119 a year Prime membership, which gets shoppers faster shipping and access to the deals. Prime Day has become one of Amazon’s biggest shopping days.
Amazon Fashion is a company with a history of taking on challenges and coming out on top. It first launched in 1995, when business on the Web was still in its infancy. It weathered the storms of the bursting dot-com bubble and stayed afloat. What began as a company that sold books is now a massive corporation offering everything from computer hardware to socks. But even as the company evolves, it celebrates its literary roots. In 2007, Amazon introduced the Kindle e-reader. Like other e-readers on the market, the Kindle used electronic ink from a company named eInk to display text and images. Because the device only consumed power when connected to a network or when it had to display a change in pages, its battery could last for more than a week without needing a recharge. Storage space on the device was ample enough to let a user carry thousands of books around.
And Amazon's digital book library included an impressive number of titles. Unlike the original Kindle line of products, the Fire doesn't use eInk. It's a tablet device with an LCD display and the ability to run apps, browse the Web and play video and music. Oh, and you can still use it to read electronic books too. It's comparable in size to the standard Amazon Kindle e-reader. Its design is simple -- on the bottom edge of the device there are two ports and one button. The ports include a micro-USB port for charging and transmitting data over a USB cable and a 3.5-millimeter (0.14-inch) headphone jack. The power button is the only physical button on the Kindle Fire. All other controls for the Kindle Fire are virtual -- you activate them through the capacitive touch-screen interface. Checking under the hood, the Amazon Kindle Fire packs a lot of punch in a small space. A lithium-ion battery provides power.
It's a rechargeable battery and one you can't easily replace if it fails. To get to the battery, you'd have to pry apart the front and back halves of the Kindle Fire's case -- a sure way to void your warranty. The processor for the Kindle Fire is a Texas instruments 1-gigahertz, dual-core microprocessor called the OMAP 4430. You wouldn't see it at first glance -- it's nestled under a 512-megabyte RAM chip from Hynix. These components give the Kindle Fire the ability to access media, process data and accept commands. The processor is like the brain -- it crunches numbers and gets results. The memory stores your media and data needed for apps. The RAM acts as a cache, holding important data so the processor can get to it quickly. The bus is like the nervous system -- it routes data to the appropriate destinations. The transmitter sends data to the Kindle Fire's display and the transceiver allows the device to communicate with a network. Post w as gen er ated with G SA Content G enerator DEMO!
The touch-screen controller monitors the Kindle Fire's capacitance screen. They rely on a weak electrical field to register a touch. Between the glass surface of the Amazon Kindle Fire and the background of the screen is a sandwich of different layers. The base of this sandwich is the LCD display. The layers closest to the screen are conductive layers of transparent material such as indium tin oxide (ITO). These layers create a capacitance grid. The Kindle Fire generates a weak electric field across this capacitance grid. Your finger actually draws current from the field. It's such a weak electric field that you don't sense it yourself. But the Kindle Fire can sense the changes in the field and map them to a specific spot that corresponds to the display screen. The Kindle Fire's software maps the touch to whatever command you were executing. It's easy to understand with an example. Let's say you want to read your copy of "Fahrenheit 451" by the late Ray Bradbury.
