According to new research from Flurry Analytics data, activations of new Kindle devices far exceeded the numbers it saw earlier in the month, showing That Kindle devices are hot sellers Particularly during the holidays for Amazon.
Flurry found that, overall, there was a 63 percent bump in device activations on Christmas Day Compared to any other day during the first three weeks of December. Kindle activations were up 24x a regular day in December, while activations for Apple, Samsung, and Acer tablets were up just a hair.
“For the past three years, Amazon has the bone fire or device That has experienced the largest bump in Christmas activations Compared to its normal level of activations,” Flurry Analytics said. “We believe price, business model, target market, and form factor all Contribute to the big boost in Kindle activations at Christmas relative to other times of the year.”
Acer, All which usefull saw a greater bump than Samsung and Apple, likely saw success Because of its low price points, Flurry explained. Samsung and Apple’s activations were not up as much because “Their baseline level of activations is so large That even a doubling of daily activations on Christmas (1.9x and 2.3x for Samsung for Apple this year) Represents a large number of devices,” Flurry explained. In otherwords, Apple and Samsung tablets are always selling tons of tablets, so it’s nearly impossible for Their figures to bump as much as Amazon’s.
Despite the bump for everyone on Christmas day, Flurry Analytics says thatthis year’s increasefontsize does not compare to previous years. Amazon’s activations were up 24x in 2013, but in 2011 activations Increased by 41x.
