SEATTLE (AP) ? Online retailer Amazon says 2011 was the best holiday ever for its Kindle-brand e-readers and tablet computers.
Amazon.com Inc. said Thursday that people bought more than 1 million Kindles each week in December.
The company has never released specific sales figures for the Kindle. Since the launch of the first Kindle in 2007, this franchise has grown to include several e-readers and the Kindle Fire tablet.
The Kindle Fire is expected to be one of the first true competitors to Apple's iPad. Amazon says the Fire has been the best-selling product on its site since its introduction 13 weeks ago.
Even so, the iPad is still expected outsell all other tablets, including the $199 Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Inc.'s new $249 Nook Tablet. The iPad starts at $499.

Dear Lifehacker,
If you'd rather pick and choose which tweets you send to Facebook, I highly recommend TweetDeck. It's our favorite Twitter client for Windows, and it's available on OS X and mobile platforms as well. Even if you've tried it in the past, the new, non-AIR version is pretty great, so I recommend giving it another shot. It will let you choose which networks you want to post any given status too?Twitter, Facebook, or both. Alternatively, the Selective Tweets app for Facebook can get the job done without a separate app. Just append the #fb hashtag to any tweet you want sent to Facebook, and it'll show up on your Facebook profile as well (without the #fb hashtag). Since this is connected to your Facebook account, it also works for anything you tweet from your phone, which is nice.
The only problem with the above services is that they won't post links or photos on Facebook as proper Facebook links. That is, they won't give them a thumbnail or anything?it'll just show the short link as you'd see it on Twitter. If you really want links and photos to be shared properly, you can use the awesome ifttt service. You can tell it to send any tweet containing a link to Facebook as a proper link, though if you also have it sending regular tweets, it will double up on any link posts, which can be annoying. Ifttt is great for when you only want to share certain kinds of posts?like links or tweets you've favorited?to Facebook.
By far the best way to share statuses between networks is the +Rob Mcgee Google+ account. Just connect your Facebook or Twitter accounts to the +Rob McGee bot using these instructions. It'll only take you a few minutes, and when you're done, anything you post to Google+ will show up on Twitter and/or Facebook, depending on which accounts you attached to the bot. It will also share links as proper links on Facebook, which is great.
The only downsides to this method are that you have to have a Google+ account and that it doesn't send photos to Facebook. If you post a photo on Google+ with a comment, it'll only post that comment as your Facebook status (which sometimes might not make sense). Overall, though, if you have a Google+ account, this is the best method for sending statuses to any network, since it's easy to do, shares links properly, lets you choose which statuses you send, and (like the others) it works on mobile devices, too.
