Here I am again for another product review. Our product review of the day is Kindle, it's a revolutionary device on which it takes reading on a whole new degree! Well, Christmas has ended. Which means we have to listen to companies that boast about how particularly well their products did throughout the Christmas season. As happens to be usual, Amazon has released several information about the merchandise it shipped, such as the new Kindle becoming the company’s top selling product ever, displacing “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.”
The precise quantity of third-generation Kindles marketed is unclear, however it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine that the sales are typically in the millions. Book 7 of the Harry Potter sold 8.2 million copies at launch solely, with Amazon pre-orders leading 1 million. Taking into consideration the very fact that the book is currently number 88 on Amazon’s Top 100 Best-selling books, a few more million is not hard to imagine. It will come at no great surprise then that both the WiFi and 3G models of the Kindle were the most notable top selling products on Amazon this holiday, with the closest gizmo being the 8 GB iPod touch.
In addition to the Kindle device stats, Amazon declared that on Christmas day more and more people downloaded Kindle apps and bought Kindle books than any other day in history. Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” was both the most bought and most gifted book on Christmas day, adding more Kindle sales than the already record-setting series.
