Online books retailer Amazon.com, Inc., US, has announced that the third-generation Kindle is now the bestselling product in Amazon's history. The company also announced that on its peak day, November 29, customers ordered more than 13.7 million items worldwide across all product categories, which is a record-breaking 158 items per second.
According to the company, more people turned on new Kindles for the first time, downloaded more Kindle Buy Once, Read Everywhere apps, and purchased more Kindle books than on any other day in history, on Christmas day. On the peak day this season, Amazon's worldwide fulfillment network shipped over 9 million units across all product categories. Kindle (Wi-Fi) and Kindle 3G were the best-selling products on Amazon.com this holiday season.
Amazon Web Services provides Amazon's developer customers with access to in-the-cloud infrastructure services based on Amazon's own back-end technology platform, which developers can use to enable virtually any type of business. Kindle, Kindle 3G and Kindle DX are the portable readers that wirelessly download books, magazines, newspapers, blogs and personal documents to a crisp, high-resolution electronic ink display that looks and reads like real paper. Kindle 3G and Kindle DX utilise the same 3G wireless technology as advanced cell phones, so users never need to hunt for a Wi-Fi hotspot.
