The Kindle Fire has been snuffed out -- in a good way.
Amazon said Thursday that the $199 Kindle Fire tablet sold out after less than a full year on the market.
Amazon claims that since it's launch, the Kindle captured 22% of U.S. tablet sales -- numbering in the "millions."
The device was launched in September 2011, and began shipping two months later.
Based on a recent IDC estimate of U.S. tablet shipments over the past 12 months, Amazon could have sold 10 million or more Kindle Fires.
IDC projects total U.S. tablet shipments will total 51.6 million in 2012.
