Amazon has just boosted sales for its new Kindle Fire HD by throwing in a free $25 Amazon gift card for every Kindle device purchase. Sales for other tablets like iPad Mini and Nexus 7 have also been rocket high with the holiday season's arrival.

The sale of the New Amazon Kindle Fire HD has been phenomenal with devices flying off the shelves at lightning speed. This comes as good news for the giant retailer not only in terms of sales revenue but there has been a 500% increase in downloads from the online Amazon store as well.

According to a report from zdnet.com:

"Amazon has resisted budging on sale pricing for its slates -- save for a Black Friday deal on its own site -- so GameStop will borrow a tactic from other stores and entice buyers with a free $25 Amazon gift card if they buy a Kindle Fire from it. You can also trade in a previous Kindle Fire and receive up to $100 in store credit to help you upgrade to a new version.

Struggling retailers like GameStop could serve the same purpose, so it should come as no surprise that the two companies have joined forces to put new Kindle Fire tablets on sale at the gaming chain's physical locations. This will provide potential valuable foot traffic to GameStop, which has been hurting due to the emergence of online game purchases, while letting consumers see and handle the Kindle tablets in person before buying."
