Kindle Fire owns 22% of USA tablet sales

Amazon’s Kindle Fire owns 22 % of the USA tablet market, the online retail giant declared Thursday. The calculate comes as Amazon preps to probably declare a brand new tablet next week, besides girding to take-on Google’s $199 Nexus 7 device.

As mentioned by Amazon, “in just nine months, Kindle Fire has grabbed 22 % of product sales in the USA,” PaidContent reports.

Amazon would choose its 22 % sales calculate be evaluated against U.S. sales, which usually places it in 3rd place after Apple with 55 % and Android with 35 %, as reported by Fortune. But how about internationally? Such as the wizard from “The Wizard of Oz,” who implores Dorothy not to look behind the curtain, Amazon would like it if you didn’t ask such pesky questions.

All of these means that Amazon next week not just needs to deliver a tablet that stay in the exact same ball park as the iPad feature-wise, but also needs to stay low-priced enough in order to avoid Google’s $199 tablet from snuffing out the Fire.
