Because if they did and the numbers got out into the wild, I think Amazon would be quite thoroughly embarrassed.

Wishful thinking.
And no one can sue Amazon to make it produce its actual numbers, although shareholders could, of course, force Amazon to disclose the numbers if they thought it was in their interest to do so. Apparently they don't think so.
It is a crime for a corporation to make a materially misleading statement, so presumably statements like the fact that the K. is Amazon's bestselling product are true, as is the claim that they sold more K3s in 73 days than they did in 2009. So it sounds like they are doing very well. Anecdotally, too, as I know three people who got Kindles for Xmas.
