I still believe that it won't revolutionize the American life style. The reality is that Kindle is one of the best sellers this season. Last time I checked, Amazon were out of stock. With a retail price of $400, margins must be sweet. That might boost nicely the following 2 quarters' bottom line.

It's because at the core, we have become fat and lazy. our differing opinio is what makes markets. My thinking is just to isolate a catalyst and Amazon may just have one. ivanhoff…the merican consumer are late adopters to certain tech and consumption.

It is very popular there as the locals download even newspapers and read them in electroninc form. It is convenient and it is eco-friendly. The question is how different it is from a laptop? Why and under what circumstances, an American would use it? The Japaneese use it mainly in the public transport - a major way for human distribution there. Here in the US, who uses public transportation? I don't see anything revolutionary in the Kindle.It's even a step back in the evolution process. Yes, it targets virgin niche in the US. But how proffitable is this niche? The Japanesse have similar to the Kindle devices for more than 10 years.
