Amazon Kindle Tablet and eReader conquer Retail Shelves on November 15

Amazon is bringing the complete Kindle line-up to retail locations across the nation. By offering the Kindle in stores, Amazon is adding a huge new channel for Kindle sales. Starting November 15, you will be able to visit any Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Staples, Sam's Club, RadioShack, Office Depot, as well as several other retailers, to experience and purchase the $79 Kindle, the $99 Kindle Touch, the $149 Kindle 3G and the $199 Kindle Fire. The all-new $79 Kindle has been available in stores around the world since shortly after it was introduced. 

"Kindle Fire is a fully integrated, end-to-end service that gives customers access to over 18 million movies, TV shows, books, magazines, apps and games," said Mike McKenna, Vice President, Amazon Kindle. "We're excited to be working with popular retailers across the country to offer their customers Kindle Fire as well as Kindle, Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G this holiday. Customers can order our new Kindles on Amazon.com or simply go to a store in their neighborhood to pick one up starting next Tuesday."

I think the retail launch will especially help drive even more sales for the new Kindle Fire. Consumers can go hands-on with the Kindle Fire and might realize that it does everything they need and pass up on the more expensive Android HoneyComb tablets. All Kindle devices make a fabulous holiday gift this year and on top are very affordable.
