After a strong start Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet appears to be losing both sales and consumer interest.
According to a report on AllThingsD (http://allthingsd.com/20120605/kindle-fire-not-exactly-burning-up-u-s-tablet-market/?refcat=news), global shipments of the device fell from 4.8 million units in the fourth quarter to 750,000 units last quarter. In December 2011, Amazon was selling around 1 million Kindle Fire (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2011-12-16-kindle-fire-sells-1m-units-for-third-consecutive-week)units a week.
This decline is reflected in the results from a new survey by ChangeWeave research. From a sample of 2,893 American consumers, only 8 per cent indicated any interest in purchasing the Kindle Fire in the next 90 days. In a similar survey last November, 22 per cent of participants expressed interest in the device.
