As per numerous third-party reports, Kindle has taken away a lot of revenue from the Apple iPad2 reducing the latter’s sales from 1 to 2 million units in 2011. People working on technology classes from a school online should take note of this.

Anthony DiClemente, Barclay’s analyst reports the Kindle Fire units sold last night went up to 5.5 million. The first one to report the sales figure was All things Digital, which had acquired DiClemente’s estimate of the sale of 4.5 million units initially.

This might be one of the reasons for its successful launch; almost 50,000 units were pre-ordered on the very launching day of the gadget.
