According to Digitimes Research, the total shipments of 7 and 8.9-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablets by the end of 2012 will amount to 5 million.
Already this month, the company plans to ship 500 thousand seven-inch Kindle Fire HD. In October, deliveries will amount to 1 million. In just the second half of the year, Amazon is going to distribute 2.9 million devices.
As for the older brother, the 8.9–inch Kindle Fire HD, its shipments for 2012 will not exceed 2.2 million. It is logical, considering that this device will go on sale only at the end of October.
Thus, the total shipments of new tablets from Amazon in less than 4 months, according to preliminary calculations, will exceed 5 million.
