Amazon to ramp up Fire tablet production
Christmas seems to have come early for Amazon.com.
The online retailer (AMZN) said Tuesday the Thanksgiving holiday
weekend marked a record sales period for its own devices, jumping
more than three times compared with the Thanksgiving period last
year. Amazon's Fire devices were the best-selling products across
its platforms, with the tablet, TV and TV Stick among the
favorites.
Sales of Fire TV alone jumped more than six times over the
weekend, while tablet sales tripled.
"With a sub-$50 price point for one or $250 for a six-pack,
we've reached a tipping point with Fire--it is our fastest-selling
tablet ever. We've already built millions--and we're ramping up
production to build millions more," said Dave Limp, senior vice
president of Amazon Devices, in a statement.
Amazon shares rose 0.7% in premarket action.
