Amazon Kindle Sales And Success Since its debut in November 2007, the Amazon Kindle continues to be a great success. Amazon has sold over 18 million Kindles so far. However, Amazon's success and large sales are unable to hold a candle to Apple's recent success in sales. Since April 2010, Apple has sold approximately 29 million iPads. They are also estimated to sell 75% of all of the tablets sold this year. Even so, Amazon is eager of a quick comeback in sales of digital book readers. Since November 2007, Amazon has made three new Kindles. They have likewise lowered the price of the initial entry-level Kindle to $79, causing this e-reader in reach for many demographics. (Especially those merely seeking an e-reader that is dependable and can get the job done.) The newest model is the Kindle fire. Its current price is $199, which is a steal as compared with Apple iPad costing $499. The Kindle fire has a 7" colored display and uses Android (by Google) as an operating system. These factors could lower not just Apple's business, but also the business of other major competitors like Hewlett Packard. After the Amazon Kindle was first presented, many predicted that it would "fail and fail terribly ". However, e-books have quickly climbed the charts in production, and in the past 3 years have started passing conventional, printed paper books. Amazon is solid in the belief that constantly making advancements to a product is the key to keeping their Kindle at such a high demand with regards to e-readers. It is true that Amazon has made not only many innovations, but also developments to the Kindle from the day of its release in November 2007. Not long ago, Amazon made the announcement that the Kindle Touch will be accessible for $99. The Kindle Touch comes with built-in WiFi abilities, and not to mention, an advanced e-ink screen. (With the Touch's e-ink screen, you could legally sign documents. Think of the possibilities!) If the Kindle touch 3G is purchased, it comes with free 3G wireless without any fees or contracts for around $149. Both the Kindle Touch and the Kindle Touch 3G may be pre-ordered, and they are fixed to ship on November 21st of this year. The entry-level Kindle which is already selling for just $79, is basic in its functions (non-touch screen for example), but is still a sleek and reliable design. (This Kindle weighs a mere six ounces!) This is a part of the promotions included while Kindle is enlarging to support Amazon Local. Amazon continues to be building all of its media services including streaming music, movies, TV, and more. The new Kindle Fire was birthed from a basic question; "Is there a way that all of the sophisticated features, sleek design and affordability can be brought together in one remarkable product?" The solution was the Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire has a seven inches display screen and dual core processor. All of this is packaged in just 14.6 ounces. For satisfaction, Amazon's cloud service backs each of the available content on the Kindle Fire. Syncing on the Kindle Fire is simple and noninvasive. It is because Amazon believes that syncing must be done in the background with no hassle, and wirelessly. Their Whispersync services work the same with movies the way they do with e-books. Regarding the Kindles, it has been said that these are premium products for prices that are not premium. |
