Is Amazon Badmouthing Sony through a Sock?
By Jane • Nov 19th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •Kindletalk.com is a new website for Kindle users. It’s an Amazon owned site per the whois data.
The first question posted by an “admin” is “The Sony readers are everywhere but have not had much success. The Kindle is more expensive but has many more feautures[sic], the most important one being wireless access to the books. Has anyone spent much time with the Sony reader? If so why do you think that it is not successful?”
Surely Amazon has more confidence in its success that badmouthing Sony right out of the gate?
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

Classy… not.
Kindletalk.com is neither owned by nor affiliated with Amazon.com. We utilize Amazon’s EC2 service to host our forums, which may explain why some users thought we were connected in some way with Amazon.
Kindletalk.com exists simply as an un-biased online community for Kindle users.
Sounds a bit, I dunno, biased to me.
Given that it went on sales yesterday I have trouble seeing why a grassroots effort would already be dissing the opposition.
