[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/kindlefire.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/03/kindle-fire-pre-orders-heat-up-reportedly-reach-95-000/) The [Kindle Fire](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/amazon-kindle-fire-impressions/) won't be out til November, but it's already giving off some strong pre-order smoke signals. According to digital marketing firm eDataSource, Amazon's first tablet has generated enough buzz to pick up just under 100,000 orders -- an estimate based on a sample of 800,000 e-mail users. Even with these rosy estimates, however, Amazon still has a long way to go before it catches up with Apple, which sold [300,000 iPads](http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-sells-over-300-000-ipad-tablets-on-us-launch-day/) on its debut. But we're guessing that the Fire's $199 price tag probably won't hurt its chances.
