Amazon managed to sell 3.9 million Kindle Fire tablets during the fourth quarter, living up to analysts’ sales estimates for the seven-inch Android slate before it launched 15 November for $199 (£126), said researcher IHS iSuppli.

The Kindle Fire grabbed 14.3 percent of the nascent tablet market. That is good for Number Two in a market segment easily dominated by Apple’s iPad, which with 15.4 million units sold commanded 57 percent of Q4 tablets sales.
