After launching amazon.nl with an assortment of Dutch Kindle e-books by the end of 2014, Amazon recently made a second step in entering the Dutch market. Last week it added the Dutch language to their German website, amazon.de. While parts of the website have not yet been translated and there is no iDeal payment option yet, this is a clear sign that Amazon is starting to focus more on the Dutch market. It is becoming clear from comments on articles in the trade press about this move by Amazon that opinions vary wildly as to what this impact will be on pricing of products in the Netherlands. Some claim that “all margins will shrink to zero”, while others claim that Amazon is not priced aggressively at all.
