. Following what Amazon reported to have been a huge holiday season for the company's debut tablet, demand for the Kindle Fire has slowed according to new claims. Citing unnamed sources from within Amazon's component supply chain, DigiTimes on Friday stated that Amazon's tablet orders with original device manufacturers have been cut in half from roughly 6 million tablets in the fourth quarter last year to 3 million units this quarter. The Kindle Fire had a hot holiday season so a drop-off in orders is expected in the quarter that follows, though it is unclear if a 50% decrease in device orders is industry standard.
