Oprah’s endoresment or not, as Miki indicated, it could be the cost of a Kindle. In view of the financial crisis in America, discretionary purchases are at the bottom of the list for most people.

Plus, the Kindle is only available in the US so even though I want one, I’m not able to buy it. I suppose it has to do with a bluetooth restriction but as I can access the internet anywhere with my phone, why isn’t the Kindle download geared globally? Amazon needs to increase their market potential, many of my friends and family around the world would also like one.

I thought I saw another news story that said there was a huge increase of Google searches on “Kindle” after the show…?

I suppose it could be that many of those searchers saw the price and clicked on “close”, but you’d think at least some of them would give in to the impulse!

The support buttressing his argument is poor sales data from other online vendors.

What does that mean?

Anaylust? I think that belonged in the review of the DAP. Anal-lust…
