Aside from its core retail business, Amazon said first-quarter sales in its cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services, amounted to 25.04 billion dollars (£20 billion), up 17% from the same period last year.
Sales in the company's online advertising business also spiked 24%, partly driven by an influx of ad dollars coming from Prime Video.
After years of giving Prime subscribers ad-free access to their favourite movies and TV shows, Amazon implemented a new policy in late January that lets viewers avoid ads only if they pay an additional amount a month.
