Amazon announcements - Kindle Fire shipping today, Touch models tomorrow

Am doing a round-up of Kindle Fire reviews, and in the meantime, two announcements have come in from Amazon's PR dept, which I tweeted.

1. Amazon has "tens of thousands" of jobs for returning vets
"We value the leadership experience that military veterans have brought to Amazon, and we’re honored that G.I. Jobs has named Amazon the #1 Top Military Friendly Company.  We have a dedicated military program that has helped hundreds of veterans transition into the civilian workforce and build their careers at Amazon, and we’re actively recruiting for even more veterans to join our company.

  - Dave Clark, Vice President, North American Operations "

See amzn.to/jobs-for-military-vets for more information and to apply for a position.


2. As expected by many of us, Amazon announced this morning that they're shipping new Kindle models ahead of shipping dates given earlier.

  They're shipping Kindle Fire today, one day early, and Kindle Touch models are being shipped tomorrow, 6 days early.

  That means that those who asked for 1-day shipments will get these tomorrow and the day after, unless they live in more-remote areas.
