Ever since Amazon launched the Kindle last November, TechCrunch has been wondering about just how successful it’s been. (Me, too!)

The electronic book initially sold out and supplies have been tight. The Kindle is such a small part of Amazon’s overall business that the company does not break out how many it’s sold. But we found out anyway: 240,000 Kindles have been shipped since November, according to a source close to Amazon with direct knowledge of the numbers.

Not bad, but could we make the price even more attractive to really rocket sales.

Here’s how the numbers look.
