New Kindles Selling At Record Rates, U.S. Amazon Store Now Has Over 670,000 Titles

TechCrunch: "Amazon has announced today that more 'next generation Kindles were ordered in the first four weeks of availability than in the same timeframe following any other Kindle launch, making the new Kindles the fastest-selling ever.' While the company didn’t reveal how many Kindles have been sold, it said that in the four weeks since the introduction of the new Kindle and Kindle 3G, customers ordered more Kindles on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk combined than any other product. The new version of the Kindle started shipping to customers today, which Amazon says is two days earlier than previously announced."
