The company did not provide any sales figures or comparisons for its Kindle, but did say it is the most wished for, and most gifted item across all of Amazon.
Amazon said it is now offering free two-day expedited shipping for the Kindle between now and December 22, with shipping for delivery on or before December 24. Amazon's chief rivals in the electronic reader market, Sony and Barnes & Noble have not been able to deliver their products in time for the holidays.
