Amazon suffers glitch during summer marketing event

(Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) on Monday said it was working to fix a technical issue that had prevented some shoppers from placing orders during the company's summer marketing event, Prime Day.

The company's shares were down more than 1 percent in after-hours trading. In a statement, the world's largest online retailer said many shoppers were ordering items successfully despite the glitch.
