• According to an analyst report,Apple’s iPad has surpassed the estimated ownership base of the Amazon Kindle.Apple stated it has shipped 3.27 million iPads since the April product launch, surpassing our estimate for an installed base of [around 3 million] Amazon Kindles to date despite supply constraints,' Marianne Wolk, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group, wrote in a co-authored research note to investors.

• As Apple’s supply constraints ease, Apple iPad shipments should ramp and it could ship as many as 12-15 [million] iPads in 2010—a compelling base for publishers to consider,' Wolk wrote. 'At these rates, the iPad should dwarf the installed base of Amazon’s dedicated Kindle eReader. Thus, Amazon could see its share of eBooks diminish as Apple’s iPad continues to gain traction.'

• Amazon's Kindle Sales have picked up since the electronic reader cut the price from $258 to $189 at the June 21 and the sales growth increase. The data show that the Amazon provides readers with 630,000 e-books, Apple offers 75 000.
