Combined shipments of the 7-inch and 8.9-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD are expected to reach five million units in the second half of 2012, according to Digitimes Research senior analyst James Wang. Components for the 7-inch model began mass shipping in July. Shipments are expected to reach 500,000 units in September and close to one million units in October.
