Amazon’s Kindle Fire is a smash hit, with fourth-quarter sales that may exceed even <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/25/hot-holiday-season-could-push-kindle-fire-sales-to-5-million-in-q4/">the most lofty estimates</a> reported ahead of the tablet’s recent launch. In just over six weeks of availability this quarter, analysts at Goldman Sachs estimate that Amazon will sell as many as 6 million Kindle Fire tablets. Add to that another 8 million Kindle-branded eBook readers the firm sees Amazon selling between October and the end of this year, and the retailer looks to be in store for a huge holiday quarter. ”While the Kindle Fire certainly doesn’t have the breadth of functionality of the iPad (no camera or microphone, shorter battery life and less memory), it does a few things very well, which just happen to be the few actions that users utilize the tablet form factor most often for, in our view,” Goldman’s report stated. <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/11/22/amazon-kindle-fire-review-its-no-ipad-killer-and-that-is-why-it-will-succeed/">BGR reviewed the Kindle Fire</a> last month and we viewed it as an excellent and affordable option for many consumers looking to consume the wide range of digital content now available from Amazon.<span id="more-116251"></span>
