BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2006--(Nasdaq:AMZN) Leading online retailer Joyo.com has announced that it now offers more than 300,000 book, music, video and DVD titles, making it the largest Chinese bookstore in the world. With more than 34 categories of books, ranging from "English/Foreign Language Learning" to "Economics/Business Management" and "Science/Nature," Joyo.com has more than 100,000 titles of books available for immediate delivery. In addition, Joyo.com also offers free shipping on qualifying purchases of RMB 99.

"At Joyo.com, we want to provide our customers the best selection possible," said Wang Hanhua, managing director of Joyo.com. "From bestsellers by Liu Xinwu, to hard-to-find titles and specialty books, Joyo.com now offers its customers the best collection of Chinese books in the world. Customers can expect us to add even more selection in the weeks and months to come."

In 2004, Amazon.com acquired Joyo.com Limited, which operates the Joyo.com Web site in cooperation with Chinese subsidiaries and affiliates.

What does Joyo's mammoth selection look like?

-- Assuming an average height of 23 centimeters in length, 300,000 titles would be over 68 kilometers high if stacked end to end -- more than 138 times as high as the Shanghai World Financial Center (492 meters);

-- If you were to read one book, listen to one CD, or watch one DVD from Joyo.com's current collection each week, it would take you 5,769 years to finish them all.

In addition to its extensive selection of books, music, and video/DVD, Joyo.com has recently expanded other categories of products, including Wireless and Digital Cameras, Toys & Gifts and Health & Personal Care.
