Meanwhile, On the All-Kindle News Channel

There's talk that Kindle sales have hit a wall recently, so we have a new slogan for Amazon: "RE: Kindle your love of reading." *crickets* Well, we have all sorts of buzz to report, too. First, there's the 8.5" x 11" textbook edition of Kindle. Then there's that $100-off-a-Kindle deal. Finally, there's the Kindle 2.0 rumor-mongering: "[T]he new version is significantly thinner, has a better screen, is more stylish and includes fixes to some of the user interface annoyances with the first version." Now how much would you pay? $249-$299?

HA! good slogan idea! I would pay $10.

i might buy one if they were $5-10.

Ah! Bargain shoppers, I see. I think it's either $150 and books are $5, or it's $10 and books are $15. One or the other.

I would pay $10 for the entire Kindle, I should clarify. Not a single book.

I bought a book of Hokusai prints last week for $30 and another of artistic nude photography for $25 and, miraculously enough, they both look better than they ever possibly could on the Kindle.

Hell, then they probably could look on most computer screens.

Never mind the used books I get at Half Priced (and usually sell back later for chump change).

How much would I pay? I wouldn't.

Maybe if I was in college and could download all my books. Other than that, Kindle can burn in hell for all I care.
