"Amazon says it set a one-day record for Kindle sales on Cyber Monday as consumers flocked to a $129 offer on the Kindle Fire.\nThe company also broke its Black Friday record for Kindle sales and Kindle products occupy the top four spots for overall sales for Amazon. As usual, the company declined to provide exact figures for sales.\nIn the fourth quarter of 2011, Amazon sold about 6 million Kindles, according an estimate by Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jordan Rohan. Amazon claimed to have sold 1 million Kindle devices per week last December.\nForrester Research, meanwhile, estimated in September that Amazon had sold a total of 7 million Kindle Fires \u2014 5 million of which were purchased during the 2011 holiday season. Though Amazon claimed that the Kindle Fire held 22% of the tablet market, iSuppli estimated that the device never got more than 14%.\nAmazon is similarly mum about its profits \u2014 or more likely losses \u2014 from the devices, but the company likely took a huge hit during its Cyber Monday sale. iSuppli estimated in September 2011 that the Kindle Fire's components cost $209.63. \n\n\nAmazon Unveils New Products in California\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.
