Find Out More About Amazon Kindle Sales And Victory
Since its debut in November 2007, the Amazon Kindle has become a great success. Amazon has sold over eighteen million Kindles so far. However, Amazon’s success and high sales cannot hold a candle to Apple’s recent success in sales. Since April 2010, Apple has sold around 29 million iPads. They are also expected to sell 75% of all of the tablets sold this year.
However, Amazon is hopeful of a quick comeback in sales of ebook readers. Since November 2007, Amazon has produced 3 new Kindles. They have also decreased the price of the initial entry-level Kindle to $79, causing this e-reader affordable for many demographics. (Especially those merely seeking an e-reader that is reliable and can get the job done.) The latest model is the Kindle fire. Its current price is $199, which is a steal unlike Apple iPad costing $499. The Kindle fire has a seven inches colored display and utilizes Android (by Google) as an operating system. These factors could lower not just Apple’s business, but also the business of many other leading competitors such as Hewlett Packard.
After the Amazon Kindle was first announced, many believed that it would “fail and fail terribly “. However, e-books have instantly climbed the charts in production, and in the past three years have started passing conventional, printed paper books.
Amazon is solid in the belief that constantly making innovations to a product is the key to retaining their Kindle at such a high need when it comes to e-readers. It is true that Amazon makes not only many innovations, but also developments to the Kindle since its release in November 2007. Lately, Amazon made the announcement that the Kindle Touch will be sold for $99. The Kindle Touch includes 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 having to pay any fees or contracts for just $149. Both the Kindle Touch and the Kindle Touch 3G can be pre-ordered, and they are set to ship on November 21st of this year.
The entry-level Kindle that is already selling for just $79, is basic in its features (non-touch screen for instance), but is still a sleek and reliable design. (This Kindle weighs a mere 6 ounces!) This is a part of the promotions included while Kindle is expanding to support Amazon Local. Amazon continues to be building all of its media services like streaming music, movies, TV, and more.
The new Kindle Fire was birthed from a plain question; “Is there a way that all of the advanced features, sleek design and affordability can be brought all together in one remarkable product?” The answer 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 all of the available content on the Kindle Fire. Syncing on the Kindle Fire is simple and noninvasive. This is because Amazon believes that syncing should be done in the background with no trouble, and wirelessly. Their Whispersync services work the same with movies like they do with ebooks. Regarding the Kindles, it has been said that these are high quality products for prices that are not premium.
