I think the answer to this is in the article Daithi linked upthread. I.e., these aren't measurements of Kindles sold, but Kindles shipped, and a lot of what they did was fill up the initial inventory. The article estimates 2 million or so Kindles sold in Xmas quarter, with the 1st Quarter shipments (again, not sales) being designed to refill inventories.
