Compared to Kindle purchases from 2010’s Black Friday, customers are purchasing 4 times as many Kindle devices this year. Dave Limp, Vice President for Amazon Kindle, stated, “We’re seeing a lot of customers buying multiple Kindles – one for themselves and others as gifts – we expect this trend to continue on Cyber Monday and through the holiday shopping season.”

Kindle Fire offers more than 18 million movies, TV shows, songs, books, magazines, apps and games – such as Netflix, Hulu, Pandora and Angry Birds. Not to mention the free digital storage available in the Amazon Cloud and Whispersync for books and movies. The Kindle Fire boasts a 14.6 ounce easy- to transport design, a touch screen in vivid color, and a powerful dual-core processor. This new member of the Kindle family features Amazon Silk – Amazon’s new innovative web. All this for a price tag of $199.

How it works:

Large retail companies like Amazon or Ebay place banner ads on your site and every time someone visiting clicks on the banner ad, your website is given a credit that results in a small fee. These fees vary with each deal and each website.

This program can be slow and tedious usually paying only pennies per click. It is also very easy to involve your site in these programs as it works to both of your advantage.

These programs are also very user friendly and easy to sign up your site. The most common is Google’s Adsense and its companion Adwords. Pay to click displays plain text advertisements on your site and pays a small fee if someone follows through with a click on the ad.

Both of these methods of making money from your website, require that your site have a high volume of consistent visitors. Once you reach a happy medium of consistent viewers to your site and partnerships that generate advertising dollars, you have reached your goal of making money from your website.

Prior to the acquisition, Amazon owned a minority share of the company. Exact details of the sale were not disclosed, but reports estimate the value to be between $200 and $270 million.

Lovefilm offers similar services to Netflix, including rent by mail, and streaming access to films, has close to 2 million members and operates in the U.K., Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

With rumors of a Netflix global expansion, the move by Amazon appears strategic. The company, which already has established connections I the entertainment industry, currently offers its own streaming rental service in the United States, and owns the movie database IMDb.

The reason of this spectacular ebooks boost up is the brisk sales of Kindles, Nooks and iPads. Amazon already reported few weeks ago that it sells more Kindle books than hardbacks.

Over the past month, Amazon sold 180 Kindle books for every 100 hardcover books. All figures don’t include free e-books. It is important to mentioned that the growth rate of Kindle device sales had tripled since Amazon lowered price of Kindle to $189 from $259 last month (just like a competitor Barnes & Noble Inc. who cut the price on its Nook e-reader).
