Amazon doesn't disclose Kindle sales because the information would be useful to their competitors. As this article clearly points out (for those of you commenters who obviously did not read it), they are required to disclose numbers once a product accounts for 10% of their revenue. So they are forced to disclose book sales, but they're not forced to disclose Kindle until it exceeds 10% of revenue.

Given their obvious success, would you at least acknowledge that Amazon would not have developed and released the 3rd generation of Kindle if they didn't view it as a successful product? Or do you think that, despite their success, they're so stupid as to keep hammering away at a money loser?
