According to a new study by research firm IHS, the Kindle Fire is set to become the second best selling tablet in the fourth quarter. The Kindle Fire's projected 13.8% share of tablet sales surpass those of Samsung's Galaxy tab, who's share is at 4.8%. Apple’s iPad still leads with a 65.6% share. The Kindle's share has progressively grown since its launch, thanks in part to its reasonable retail price. This makes it the first tablet to seriously rival the iPad.

Under recent talks, Amazon Inc is considering to launch a digital media library service for book publishers much like the media library for Netflix Inc. The Wall Street Journal also reports that Amazon is also expected to release a tablet to rival Apple Inc's iPad in coming weeks.

Apple iPad users can now read content using a free, user-friendly magazine reader called MAGapp. Leading Brands Publishing has launched the new MAGapp which, engages readers through a number of interactive visual experiences from interviews to global in-depth articles and a range of branded content for marketers across the Middle East.
