Amazon’s Kindle e-reader sales over 3 million units
| February 2, 2010 | Posted by George Marks under amazon, Electronics, iPad, Tech News |
When the iPad was announced, people immediately started claiming it was going to destroy the Kindle. The Kindle has been at the top of the list for e-readers since it’s launch on just about every blog site. And yet, the Kindle is still around. Despite all it’s competion the Kindle has sold over 3 million units and continues to hold an audience.
No one expected the Kindle to sell that many e-readers. In fact, Analysts thought the device would barely nab 2.5 million sales by the end of 2010, which puts Amazon ahead of the game.
With that said the Kindle will likely see a huge drop in sales this year over last year, but that doesn’t make Amazon’s accomplishments any less impressive.

Thanks for taking this opportunity to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and I take pleasure in learning about this topic. If possible, as you gain information, please add to this blog with new information. I have found it extremely useful.
I hate to sound like a nitpick, but your grammar is just…deplorable. I want to be interested in this, I really do. But it seems you spent so much time on the design (which, I will say, is amazing) that you forgot that people actually have to read your blog. Clean this up…PLEASE. It could be so much bigger if you just did some work.
I’m considering about receiving the Amazon Kindle 2. I have study tons of reviews and am wondering what you’ve to say about it. The Kindle sounds like an awesome notion. Saving trees, saving cash, not losing your spot, print size alter, and the notes function. So what do you believe? Ought to I get it?
If improved kinds arrive out later, what makes them much better than the kinds now?does the amazon kindle have an incorporated back light to read inside the dark, and are the publication costs a lot more high-priced than getting them at the bookstore?does it have childrens books also? also,what would you rate the amzon kindle?
