Leaked concealment shots from Amazon's interior listing direction grouping allegedly exhibit that more than 250,000 Kindle Fires hit already been preordered. Less than a hebdomad after Amazon announced the tablet, the paper is commerce at a evaluate of more than 2,000 units an hour, or upwardly of 50,000 apiece day, Cult of Android says.
If these drawing are factual, that puts Amazon on road to hit the large paper start ever, large than both the start of the example iPad and the iPad 2.
To place the drawing in context, Apple oversubscribed 300,000 iPads on Apr 3, 2010, the prototypal period its paper went on sale. Apple hasn't liberated specifics on first-day income for the iPad 2, but Cult of Android says about 2.5 meg units were oversubscribed in the prototypal month.

Other tablets haven't had such luck. Motorola exclusive oversubscribed 100,000 Xooms in the prototypal month, and BlackBerry oversubscribed an estimated 250,000 PlayBooks, Cult of Android says.
The Kindle Fire ease has whatever instance to progress the iPad, too. It doesn't board until Nov 15. Amazon could increase those drawing with added tablet, too. The consort reportedly has a 10-inch Kindle Fire in the works, too.
Because of its $199 toll attach and included perks same liberated two-day shipping, the Kindle Fire has been framed as the prototypal paper that will inform actualised rivalry to the iPad. If these early estimates are some indication, the Kindle Fire is substantially on its way.
