Without giving figures, Amazon says Kindle sales were well above those achieved in 2010.
As is the tradition across the Atlantic, the Black Friday, Friday after Thanksgiving, is the day for bargains, and Americans are not wrong. Amazon announced that it was Black Friday "the best of all time." Kinlde sales were four times higher than those achieved in 2010.
Kindle the Fire - not available in France - the distributor output to less than 200 euros to counter the iPad 2 Apple would receive a warm welcome. Again, the firm does not disclose figures, but simply to restore the position of the Fire in the top of sales: the tablet is at the top since its launch nearly two months ago.
Arriving there is little in the French market with a Kindle (4) adapted and posted to 99 euros, although Amazon has itself in the market with this affordable model hexagonal connected to a well-stocked Kindle Store (1 million of securities 45 000 in French).
In front, the competition is organized. Sony revises its prices down, Fnac advance its new reading light Kobo (already available), when Virgin launches Cybook Odyssey in partnership with the French Bookeen. The market takes shape, slowly but surely.
