Target to stop selling Amazon’s Kindle line

New York -- Target will soon stop selling the Amazon Kindle line of e-readers and tablets.



Target representative Molly Snyder said the company is "phasing out Kindles and Amazon- and Kindle-branded products in the spring of 2012,” in a report on CNNMoney.com.



The retailer has declined to comment on the specific date or the reason that the products will no longer be on its shelves. The chain will continue to sell other e-readers, including the Barnes and Noble’s Nook.
