Kindle Fire Surpassing iPad Sales at Best Buy

Amazon Pushes Kindle Fire Update, Breaks Root
Amazon pushed out a 181MB update for the Kindle Fire tablet this morning. The update is primarily a compilation of minor bug fixes but it also breaks root and removes any instance of the Android Market that it happens to find during the patch process.
