I own a Kindle and I want to make sure that it stays on top of the newly competitive E-readers. See Article on Reuters.
Amazon says that the Kindle is the most wanted product across the company during the holiday gift season of December. And with good reason. Kindle is wonderful. It really has improved my reading experience as I can take as many books as I want in one small device. I can instantly download most books and many of the magazines that I like. I'm really happy that I was an early adopter and able to watch the market for e-readers take off and guess where it might be headed.
You may have also heard that Stephen Covey, the author of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has signed an exlusive deal with Amazon to sell two of his most successful books on the Kindle Platform. This deal will open the door for a whole new slew of articles and legal opinions (probably) on who actually has the rights to sell the content. Is it the publisher? Or the author??? But I digress. The point of this blog is that Kindle is snuffing out the other e-readers for now. As the Doors like to say, "Come on baby, light my fire..."
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
I think the lyrics apply to Kindle. Don't you? For the full article without my personal opinion see: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1719909920091218?type=marketsNews
