As of Monday morning, some $540 million had already been spent online, according to Adobe, whose software runs under many retailers’ websites. And while Cyber Monday has long reigned supreme as the biggest day of the year for digital shopping, it faced a stiff challenge from Black Friday this time around. It perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise that Black Friday sales figures are rivaling those of Cyber Monday. Target, meanwhile, offered a summary of what items were selling strongly on Sunday, the first day of its Cyber Monday promotion. Its connected home gadget, the Echo Dot, is its best-selling item for the day so far.
