Some flags it raises:

Kindle sales also tripled when prices dropped from $359 to $299.
From what I've read of the latest report, they aren't claiming that Kindle sales have tripled, but that the rate of increase of Kindle sales has tripled. So if they were seeing 5% month-on-month growth, they are now seeing 15%. (Made up figures)
