Kindle 3 Fastest Selling Kindle Ever no comments
Amazon announced today that more of the latest generation Kindle 3 ereaders were ordered in the four weeks since its launch than any other Kindle model in the same time period after its introduction. Amazon also says that more of the new Kindles were ordered on Amazon.com and Amazon UK than any other product.
Also in the four weeks since the Kindle 3 introduction:
- Kindle and Kindle 3G are the most gifted and most wished for products on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk combined.
- Customers in 125 countries on six continents from Austria to Zimbabwe have already placed orders for the new generation Kindles. Some of the most remote shipments will be sent as far away as Mongolia and the Northern Mariana Islands.
- Customers are already ordering books to read on their new Kindles. The most popular are the books in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy, "Star Island" by Carl Hiaasen and "The Rembrandt Affair" by Daniel Silva.
Amazon has started shipping the new Kindles out today – two days earlier than originally announced.
The press release also tells us that the Kindle Store now has over 670,000 titles. That is an increase of around 40,000 in about a month. This latest press release says that over 550,000 of the ebooks available in the Kindle Store are $9.99 or less. At about this same time last month the number of titles priced at $9.99 or less was something north of 510,000. Perhaps the fact that many readers are boycotting ebooks priced above $9.99 has something to do with this.
