AAPL.Therefore, Amazon is leaving no stone unturned to boost its digital media sales and attract new viewers, by adding a variety of series and movies to its content lineup and making Prime Video more attractive.With intense competition in online video content, majors such as Netflix, Inc. NFLX, Hulu and HBO, are witnessing substantial success. It is thus natural for Amazon to compete against them with successful acts of its own.
