Typically evasive sales reporting from Amazon on the new Kindle today, as it states that “more next generation Kindles were ordered in the first four weeks of availability than in the same timeframe following any other Kindle launch, making the new Kindles the fastest-selling ever.” As per usual, there are no figures to support this, so we can’t stack it up next to the iPad or any other tablet or e-reader to see how the user base compares. Although Amazon are always secretive about specific figures, and have never given numbers on Kindle sales, it sets off a niggle – if the Kindle is selling so well, why doesn’t Amazon give Kindle figures? Even the obsessively secretive Apple do that.
