Amazon.com Inc, the world's largest e-commerce company, has started selling e-books through its China site, a week after the company announced it was doing the same in Brazil.

Users can download Kindle software for free from the China website onto their iPhone, iPad or Android devices, which allows them to read Kindle e-books on those devices, according to information on the website.

The site doesn't indicate precisely when sales of e-books began and doesn't offer Kindle devices.
