Kindle ereader becomes Amazon best-seller

30 Nov 2009

The Kindle has become the best-selling product across all categories on Amazon this month, the e-tailer giant has announced.Amazon hasn’t released actual sales figures of its beloved ereader, but the fact that shoppers bought more Kindles than iPods in November from the shows it’s not doing too badly. The stars seem to have aligned this month for Amazon – it launched globally just last month, the holiday season has hit fever pitch already, and both Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Sony’s Daily Edition ereaders have been delayed until the new year.Of course, you still have to take this with a pinch of salt – it’s not as if you can buy the Kindle anywhere else. But topping sales on Amazon is no small feat either. See what all the fuss is about with our full review and unboxing of the Kindle, or let us know why you bought one below.Via: Gizmodo

    This news must be coming from the american market, how can the uk citizens be so willing to take such a blow to the chin, price wise, i tried to buy one for my mother and the price got jacked up from around £200 to £400!!! after canceling my order i sent an e-mail asking what reason they have for jacking up the price!! I have had no response!

    Before you buy, make sure you're happy with the breadth of books available. For example: type 'Pratchett' into amazon.com's kindle store and note the (lack of ) books. Now change your region (top left of the page) to the US and try again -- available in the States, but not available to us in the UK... :-( Mark
