(NASDAQ: AMZN) may face many hurdles in the world of eReaders versus iPads and other tablets.  You never know how many it was braced to sell and they won’t tell you how many they have under current order, but if you go to the Amazon.com site some of the new Kindle models are sold out.

Steve Jobs may still be the best seller of these devices in the world.  He’s not the only measure of success.  Jeff Bezos seems to be doing pretty well with his sales too.

Amazon.com shares are up 1.9% at $120.16 in a broad market rally this Monday afternoon.
