Amazon: Holiday Weekend Best Ever For Kindle

Seattle-based Amazon.com said today that the past holiday weekend was its "best ever" for Kindle, and that customers had purchase more of its Kindle Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers than "ever before". However--in typical Amazon style--the company was mum on exactly how many of the e-readers and tablets it moved over the weekend, and what the breakdown between the sales of various models of the Kindle were. Amazon had been using large price cuts on various models of the Kindle as part of its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales efforts. Amazon also did not compare sales this holiday with last year's sales of the Kindle.
