Chock up a**ther "W" for Amazon. On Wednesday, the Seattle-based retailer an**unced that its second annual Prime Day (http://mashable.com/category/prime-day/) was the "biggest day in the history of Amazon."
The event was a huge success last year (http://mashable.com/2015/07/15/amazon-prime-numbers/), but it was even bigger this year, Amazon said, with worldwide and U.S. orders up 60 and 50 percent, respectively, from 2015.*

It was also a good day for selling Amazon devices, i.e. the Kindle e-readers and tablets, Fire TV, Fire TV Stick and Amazon Echo products. Amazon says it was the biggest sales day globally ever for Amazon devices.
The Fire TV Stick was the best-selling Amazon Device, with 2.5 times as many sticks sold as last year. In the United States, Amazon sold three times as many Amazon devices as it did last year, and more than 2.5 times as many Amazon Echos. Amazon says it was the biggest day ever for the Echo. That's **t surprising, given that Echo can do a lot more **w than it could this time last year. Read more...
