Word on the street back in June is that Amazon isn’t getting enough parts for the production of the company’s upcoming tablet devices. But Amazon seems to have found the right suppliers as it’s reportedly buying all parts that it can in order to ramp up production of the 7 and 10-inch tablet iterations.

Vendor reports reveal that Amazon now comes second only to Apple with regards to IC parts shipment from Taiwan. This coincides with the previous report that Amazon is importing 2-finger touchscreen display solution for its devices. If these new reports are true, then we’ll be seeing three sizes of tablets before the fiscal year comes to an end.

Industry experts previously expected only the 9-inch iteration of the tablet to pop up in the market first any time from August to October. The second version of the tablets will supposedly be released next year. To be priced competitively upon release, Amazon is expecting to sell 4 million units months after the tablet’s launch.
