Amazon lays off employees in Books division as part of cost-cutting plan

Amazon has announced a new round of job cuts, this time affecting its Books division. Fewer than 100 employees have been let go, including staff from Kindle operations and the popular book review platform, Goodreads.

The company told Reuters the decision was aimed at improving efficiency and aligning with its long-term goals. “We’ve made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of roles within the Books organisation,” said an Amazon spokesperson.
