Amazon Selling Over 1M Kindles Per Week
Amazon announced today that Kindle devices, and the Kindle Fire in particular, continue to fly out of the warehouse in dizzying numbers.
"For the third week in a row, customers are purchasing well over 1 million Kindle devices per week, and Kindle Fire remains the #1 bestselling, most gifted, and most wished for product across the millions of items available on Amazon.com since its introduction 11 weeks ago," the company said.
And it's getting more popular by the week, with sales increasing week over week for each of the past three weeks, according to Amazon. The Fire, which has taken its lumps in the media because of a minimalist feature set, is nonetheless the most successful product Amazon has ever launched, according to today's announcement. "And we're building millions more to meet the high demand."
