growing category within cell phones on Amazon.com—so we set

offers and ads on our Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers, and
they’ve been a hit—in fact, the vast majority of customers choose
the lower-priced option. Now we’re lowering prices in a similar way
on new, unlocked smartphones, working with two of our best-selling
brands, BLU and Motorola."
