Is Amazon’s Kindle Success Sustainable?

the very thought of reading a book on my iphone make my 20/50 eyes scream in horror.

this is really the beauty of the kindle, etch a sketch like reproduction of text on an electronic screen that does not strain my already over-strained eyes like lcd tablet pc screens do.

I suggest people thoroughly use both products (iPhone, and Kindle) prior to comparing and contrasting their potential for future ebook adoption.

Amazon: Kindle Estimates Keep Going Up

I think the response to Mahaney's revision could be classified as a bit frothy based solely on 1bn projections, but there is also definite upside potential here.

Total college textbook market is approx 7.5bn. If kindle is truly a platform type technology that changes the way consumers interact with published content, then long term potential is huge. Uses extend past consumer, and non professional education, and if this becomes so, than amazon has a game changer in their back pocket, if not, a solid 5% growth product. In any case, one has to be impressed by the innovation here.
