This time, Amazon’s venture is not limited to dedicated e-reader; they created a whole new kind of tablet called the Kindle Fire.

Kindle is not just the best-selling item on Amazon.com but it the best-selling item on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.es and Amazon.it during the holiday season, 2011. With the kindle sales growth going up drastically, kindle book’s authors are also greatly benefited. This is a huge milestone especially for independent publishers who use Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) feature. Self-publishers can now reach out to their readers without any hassle.
