Amazon Boasts "Best Ever" Black Friday And Cyber Monday For Kindle Family

Amazon had some pretty sweet deals going on all weekend long, starting on Black Friday and ending on Cyber Monday. One of the best that we found on Amazon's products was the $130 Kindle Fire deal — down $30 from its original price. The company boasts that "Cyber Monday 2012 was the biggest day ever for Kindle sales worldwide."

Collectively, Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2012 "were the best ever for the Kindle family." The company had more than doubled last year's sales numbers, and while they don't disclose any specific figures, it's not too hard to believe. The $130 Kindle Fire deal was simply too good to pass up for a lot of people.

Amazon did release a couple of statistics and facts that might prove interesting for you. First of all, the top four spots on the worldwide Amazon best sellers list are Kindle ereaders and tablets. Also, Amazon claims the Kindle Fire HD to be the most gifted and most wished for product on Amazon since its launch.

Sadly, the Kindle Fire deal is over, and you'll have to go back to paying at least $160 for the last-generation tablet, but that's still a decent price. However, for just a bit more cash, you can pick up the newer Kindle Fire HD for only $200. That's probably a better bet if you're wanting to get the latest and greatest.
