SEATTLE, WA. (Top40 Charts/ Amazon Official Website) This year, millions of people will unwrap Kindle Fires, Kindle e-ink readers, MP3 players, mobile phones, tablets and computers. Amazon is making it easy for customers to load up their new devices with the 'Best of Digital' store, which features recommendations from Amazon's team of editors on must-have movies & TV shows, music, video games, software, mobile apps, magazines and Kindle books, along with hundreds of deals on digital content.
Historically, Christmas day is the largest day of digital sales on Amazon.com, followed by December 26. Last year, from Christmas Eve through December 30, Amazon customers purchased over three times more digital content, including Kindle books, magazines, movies, TV shows, music, and digital games as compared to the weekly average for the year.
'People everywhere will unwrap mobile devices over the holidays—Kindles, MP3 players, smart phones and tablets—and as soon as they're out of the box, it's only natural to want to load them up with great digital entertainment,' said Craig Pape, Director of Music at Amazon.com. 'Not surprisingly, we see the largest jump in digital product sales on Christmas and during the week following the holiday. With the introduction of Kindle Fire this season, millions more customers will be shopping for new digital content. This year, we're making it easier and more convenient than ever to get all the content they want - along with some hot deals on digital - all in one place.'
