Kindle Scribe Sales Numbers Keep Declining Rapidly
Last month I did a couple of posts with estimated sales figures for the Kindle Scribe based on the monthly sales numbers that Amazon now shows for most products on their website. The first post was on January 12th so part of the holiday shopping season was included in the data, and the overall Kindle […]
Kindle Oasis Has Been Removed From Kindle Lineup
