AbeBooks is a subsidiary of Amazon.com, and is one of the largest online bookstores in the world. It was founded in 1995 by Jeff Bezos, and is headquartered in Seattle. AbeBooks is a marketplace for books, and allows users to buy and sell new and used books. It also allows users to browse through books by genre, author, or rating. AbeBooks also offers bookbinding and printing services.
The company has been profitable every year since it was founded, and has grown rapidly over the years. However, some have questioned whether or not AbeBooks is truly owned by Amazon, as Amazon itself does not own the majority of the company. Some have argued that the two companies are actually separate entities, with Amazon owning the platform and AbeBooks providing the services. However, this has yet to be officially confirmed.
