Amazon.com has announced that December has been the best month for sales of its Kindle electronic book reader.
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.
Amazon is hoping that its latest Kindle announcement will boost sales even further and help it to emerge as the clear winner in the e-reader marketplace.
"We've made it even easier and faster for gift-givers to order Kindle. Kindle is available today with FREE Two-day Shipping in time for Christmas," said Ian Freed, vice president, Amazon Kindle.

| Every time I go to Amazon, which has been nearly every day this month, the Kindle has been on the homepage. If people see it long enough, they will want the thing. Good marketing! :) |
