| | |  Amazon's crazy final stats; 1.75 pre-orders of DH per second!
Amazon.com has announced the final statistics for the sales of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and they're jaw-dropping.
As we previously reported, Amazon.com received more than 2.2 million pre-orders of the novel by July 20th. They delivered 1.3 of those million copies to the doorsteps of fans by the end of Saturday, July 21st.
If that's not insane enough, Amazon's U.S. fulfillment centers processed approximately 18 tons of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows per hour. On top of that, they shipped to more than 43,000 zip codes across the country.
Finally, the craziest fact of all: On its busiest pre-order day, Amazon.com took more than 1.75 pre-orders per second.
:O

That's awesome! I love knowing that so many people got the chance to get DH when it first came out. It's a wonder that technology has come so far that they have made it possible to do so. | |
