Kindle is the bestselling product in Amazon's history

With the holidays winding down, Amazon has released a list of facts and bestsellers for 2010's busiest shopping season. Sales peaked on November 29 (Cyber Monday) and customers ordered more than 13.7 million items worldwide -- or 158 items per second. On its best day, Amazon's worldwide fulfillment network shipped over 9 million units to 178 countries across all product categories. The company shipped over 350,000 units to APO/FPO addresses (military mail).

Amazon's third-generation Kindle ranked as the bestselling product in the company's history, surpassing the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book. Amazon said that many Kindle customers also own a tablet, suggesting that there's room for dedicated e-readers alongside multi-purpose slates. Customers use tablets for games, movies, and browsing, but they prefer the Kindle for reading because of its lighter design, lengthy battery life, and eye-friendly e-ink display.

Despite tooting its own horn, Amazon didn't offer any actual Kindle sales figures. Apple's iPod touch 8GB was the third bestselling electronics item on Amazon, behind the Kindle Wi-Fi and Kindle 3G. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was the most purchased Kindle book, as well as the most gifted on Christmas Day. The Dork Diaries saw the greatest gain in popularity on Christmas day.
