The staggering Christmas sales of Amazon's third generation Kindle reader has propelled it to the company's best-selling product of all-time.
The aggressively-priced Kindle 3, available for as low as �109 in the UK, overtook the Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows book as the online retailers top seller.
Amazon reckons that the new low price has encouraged more buyers as customers don't have to choose between a Kindle and an LCD tablet like the Apple iPad.
"We're seeing that many of the people who are buying Kindles also own an LCD tablet," says Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. "Customers report using their LCD tablets for games, movies, and web browsing and their Kindles for reading sessions."
Record breakers
Amazon is also reporting that 158 items per second were ordered from Amazon.com on peak trading day in November and that The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was the most downloaded book on Christmas Day.
On Boxing Day the company also revealed that the Kindle 3 was the best-selling product over the festive period, eclipsing the Toy Story 3 DVD, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Take That's latest Robbie Williams-infused album.
So much for the iPad killing the Kindle....
