Amazon has reduced tablet orders released to Taiwan-based ODMs Compal Electronics and Quanta Computer by an estimated 30%, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report citing Taiwan-based supply chain makers as indicating.

The decrease in tablet ODM orders is due to increasing price-cut competition, the paper indicated. Amazon shipped 4.5 million tablets in 2014, with 80% produced by Compal and 20% by Quanta Computer, the paper said.
