Amazon Kindle Fire HD is a 'worldwide bestseller'

Retail giant blows its own trumpet over its tablet 

The Amazon Kindle Fire HD has been named the "#1 best-selling product across all of Amazon worldwide" by the online retail giant.
We saw Amazon launch the Kindle Fire HD back in September as it looked to tackle the Google Nexus 7 which took the budget tablet market by storm in the middle of this year.
Clearly wanting to take the fight to Google, and possibly firing a warning shot at Apple with its incoming iPad mini, Amazon has slapped a best-selling tag on its 7-inch Android tablet.

Sales figures mystery

Amazon hasn't been forthcoming with any sort of sales figures, or an explanation as to how the Kindle Fire HD has become a best-selling tablet – this could mean anything from its sold the most units of any product ever, or simply that it the most popular device at this time.
With all that in mind, we're taking Amazon's latest claim with a pinch of salt, as it's not clear how well the Kindle Fire HD is actually selling in comparison to other tablets on the market.
