The 2012 holiday shopping season was Amazon's most successful yet, the company announced today. As you might expect from the internet's leading retailer, Cyber Monday was the big standout; over 26.5 million items were purchased on that day alone, amounting to 306 items per second. That massive growth nearly doubles 2010's record, when 13.7 million items were ordered on November 29th.

The company is also touting its efforts in the ebook realm, claiming that over 175,000 "exclusive" books came to the Kindle store this year. Further, 23 authors offering their work through the Kindle Direct Publishing platform enjoyed sales of over 250,000.
