Amazon: Forget Analysts, Kindle Still Irrelevant

very well written.
a paper print-out will beat any electronic display hands down for many years to come. Many people wotk in fron of computer screens t5hese days and the last thing you want to do after a long workday is to spend another hour or two staring into a small kindle display
I for my part very much prefer to read a printed copy of a book or an article - and this stuff is much more mobile than a kindle, mind you? I need not think about charging it, it often is lighter than a kindle, i am not to lose 400$ when it falls down, gets stolen, a rainshower hits or anything the like happens.
it's highly suspicious that there are already thousands of "customer reviews" for the kindle and tens of thousands have read these and voted on their usefulness. sure
i would not be surprised to learn at some later point that these reviews were, well, inflated for some reason.
that analysts are now focussing on a niche-item and non-issue like the kindle speaks of desperation to find yet another justification for amzn's absurd valuation.
it would be interesting to see what happens when a headline hits that some software pirates have cracked the azw-code allowing the kindle-ebooks to be displayed and converted to ordinary pdfs and hence re-distributed as ebooks essentially for free or at a fraction of amzn#s price. i wonder what that would do to kindle, availability of kindle-editions and margins
