How many Kindle Fire tablets has Amazon sold? While we don't have an official answer from Amazon, a market researcher that has been tracking sales of the 7-inch Amazon tablet offered an estimate today.
"Our estimate is that Amazon.com has now sold 850,000 units direct from the Amazon.com site. Total sales would be substantially larger," Carter Nicholas, CEO of eDataSource said today. Amazon may have sold as many as 2 million or more so far when you consider all sales channels."
Those other sales channels would be national retailers like Best Buy, where the Fire is now listed as its best-selling tablet.
"The Fire is selling well at Best Buy," said a Best Buy spokeswoman. Hard numbers will come later this month when Best Buy announces earnings, she said.
"Trendwise, sales are picking up if you compare second half of November to second half of October, the rate of sales is up 63%," Nicholas wrote.
