5 million shipments of Amazon Kindle Fire being claimed

Full Story: Electronista 10 November 2011

Electronista reports: Amazon's claims of ordering "millions more" Kindle Fire units may have been borne out by a leak Wednesday. Having already bumped its original order from 3.5 million to four million, Amazon was said by Digitimes' purported supply chain sources to be boosting production to "more than five million."

Amazon expected demand to keep increasing after the end of 2011, leading it to ask for more to keep up its supply.
