Twilight Breaking Dawn was a fabulous success for Amazon. They sold one million three hundred thousand copies of Twilight Breaking Dawn the book on the first day of sales not bad for the first day huh. Breaking Dawn is the fourth novel in the Twilight series by the author Stephenie Meyer
Breaking Dawn the Movie distributed by Summit Entertainment grossed one hundred thirty five point nine million dollars this weekend driven by all those sales of books and the girls and moms that read them and want to see more, coming from the dreams of that author Stephenie Meyer. These stories are very universal of course they have the vampires and there is this otherworldly part to the stories but the universality pulls in the audiences from a large cross section of people. Mostly teenage girls and moms but many others as well because the stories are so universal they deal in love and hate and conquest and conquering out enemies and doing whatever it takes for love. Who hasn't been in that spot before. So this series may be over however Amazon and the producers of this film are still going to make boatloads of money from it. As you can see in the trailer this movie looks like it's going to be pretty interesting to the vampire lovers out there. This movie features a Honeymoon and pregnancy so it's pretty intense for the mostly female audience that saw it this weekend. So see the movie to follow the exploits of Bella, Edward, and Jacob as they continue their journey.

Amazon Kindle Sales Drive Kindle Book Sales
Amazon's hit the Amazon Kindle and now the Amazon Kindle Fire have, I'm sure far surpassed the goals set for them by the people at Amazon. I think we all know that avid reader of regular books who was at first "I will never change to an amazon kindle" who now sits happily clicking to the next page and shows it off to their Friends and excitedly explains the virtues of the device to anyone who will listen.
That is one of the greatest aspects of the Amazon Kindle is the simplicity of use almost like a book itself. From simple pressing a button to turn a page to pressing a button to buy another book which has a large impact on Amazon's bottom line. One of the better features of the kindle is the ability to read a couple chapters of the book to see if you will like it before you buy it. This does two things it drives you to purchase the book. But also drives you to only purchase books you will like therefore giving you a better buying experience.
In July of 2010 Kindle book sales were larger than Amazon's Hardcover book sales that is a pretty good feat in itself. But then in January of this year they surpassed paperback sales and as of this time they have gone past both metrics in sales. So more kindle books are being sold than both hardcover and paperback from amazon. That is simply amazing. Part of it is driven by the simplicity of buying a book and the time it takes you don't have to turn on your computer and find the book and order it and check out and wait for UPS to bring it. You simply download the book to your Kindle and you can start reading right now.
Another part of the sales puzzle of Kindle Books is sales of the Kindle itself. Prices have been dramatically lowered from $259.00 originally to now you can buy one for $99.00 pretty much anywhere they are sold. That is another piece of the puzzle as well the fact that they are sold everywhere. Before you could only buy one at Amazon.com and now you can buy one at Office Max if you want to. So, simplicity of use, simplicity of purchasing, prices lowering, and availability of the product have all allowed the Kindle to be the leader of Ereader technology and a winner for Amazon for now the the Kindle Fire is only the future for them
