[From Stephen Trew] 6 million Fires, nice numbers for Amazon. I expect to hear about a UK release date in February. "According to Rohan, the Fire is selling very, very well. So well, in fact, that on Sunday evening he raised his estimate for fourth-quarter Fire sales to six million units from five million, proclaiming the device a true tablet market contender. “Kindle Fire has staked out an important market position due to its loyal Amazon customer base and attractive (low) device pricing,” Rohan said in a note to clients. “We believe the lower hardware price will correlate with high e-book and video content attach rates.” In other words, there’s some serious potential upside to be had in incremental e-commerce spending via the Fire, and Amazon’s aim is to milk it for all it’s worth."
