Amazon said it sold millions of Kindle Fire tablets in the holiday quarter, and it seems consumers who received them for Christmas are pleased with the slate, which was upgraded with some navigation improvements. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said half of the 8,529 Fire reviews he surveyed gave the tablet 5 out of 5 stars, compared with 48 percent of those polled who gave the tablet a 5-star review on Dec. 13 and 47 percent who gave the tablet a 5-star review on Dec. 8. Moreover, 69 percent of those reviews comprise 4- and 5-star ratings. For perspective, Munster counted 70 percent of reviews as 4- or 5-star for the first Apple iPad in 2010.
