Amazon Plays Down Reports It’s Pulling Kindle From China

$Amazon(AMZN.US)$ Amazon.com Inc. brushed off media speculation that it was suspending sales of its Kindle e-reader in China, after some of its signature product’s models went out of stock on Chinese platforms.

“We remain committed to our customers in China,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “Customers can continue to purchase Kindle e-readers from offline and third-party online retailers.”

Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite devices were not in stock on JD.com on Tuesday, but were still available from some vendors on Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s e-commerce outlet. JD.com Inc. and Alibaba did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Customer service representatives on both platforms said they had not received any notice of changes to Kindle availability in China.
