Naturalist writes "Exact data on (the Linux-powered) Kindle sales figures has been hard to come by. Amazon is notoriously tight-lipped on such topics, and although CEO Jeff Bezos did give some Kindle-related information back in July, the company has yet to break out how many readers it has sold to date. Sitting on that information may not be an option any longer; TechCrunch claims to have spoken to a source close to Amazon, with direct knowledge of the company's sales figures.
According to this unnamed source, Amazon has sold some 240,000 Kindles to date, for an estimated revenue between $86 million and $96 million dollars.
Kindle's strong sales have galvanized the eBook market, and Amazon itself is developing a new series of Kindle products." Link to Original Source
