[edit] The company

Amazon can be reached at: http://www.amazon.com. The physical location is Seattle, Washington. They began business in July 1995 although founded in 1994. While founded as a web based book dealer they have expanded to offer a large host of products.

Those thinking about buying a used Kindle should read Blacklist (Amazon).

[edit] ASIN

All Amazon products have an Amazon Standard Identification Number, ASIN, assigned including eBooks. For eBooks it is actually contained inside the file itself and is used to distinguish an Amazon supplied eBook from one you built yourself. Its location has been found as shown in the MOBI page. The number is unique across all of Amazon but if the user is fast enough or reuses it on their eBooks it will be the same number in Amazon sites in different countries.
