  • Amazon Opens Kindle to Bloggers, But Will Readers Want to Pay? [View article]
    "Blogs have typically been priced at $1.99 a month on Kindle"
    LOL

    Ray: "perhaps if they offered blogs as a bundle -- say, any 50 blogs for 2 bucks a month" 4 cents!

    We will now get to see the market determine the value (price) of the opinion of any old Joe Blow who can blog on the Internet.
    For some reason, 2 cents seems like a good number.

  • Ten Reasons Why the Kindle Is Toast [View article]
    Several good points. Don't forget Amazon did clear all the legal copyright negotiations, although they may not be completely out of the woods on that.

    The future of the Kindle is up for grabs. I personally have never even seen one- channels? But if they've solved the readability issue, that's a big step forward for ebooks.

    Interesting point on the growth of the iPod dependent on the pirating of music rather than the purchase. Wonder how protected the Kindle material is? I was surprised that there is no Wifi capability; it's all done via cell phone which is included in the book price.

  • Sales Tax for E-tailers? [View article]
    The lack of a sales tax for online purchases compensates for the shipping costs. I would much rather give my money to UPS / FedX than Uncle Sam.
