Is it so cynical to assume that Steve Jobs & the "analysts" he mentions were right–that not many Kindles have actually been sold?

Sure, you're right, they've never given a sales figure.

I think because they haven't sold very many.

It's the top selling product on Amazon and has been so for years. They have sold a ton of them, it's ridiculous to think otherwise. Who do you think was buying all the Kindle books before there were other supported platforms?

Amazon doesn't release sales figures. Period. Not of the Kindle and not of any product.

I'm not trying to step foot into this lose-lose debate, but you really can't say what has sold the most on Amazon without the release of sales figures. Amazon could easily be lying and none of us would know for certain.

I'm going to assume they haven't been committing securities fraud just like I assume Apple has really sold however many million iPads that they claimed.

Your supporting evidence for this opinion is a blog post that offers no evidence whatsoever?

Amazon does however publish Top 100s of categories, and the Kindle has been consistently high in the categories related to electronic entertainment.

Perhaps the claim is that Amazon manipulates that list, next...
