Kindle review on video

The following two minutes video by C|Net is one of the YouTube videos about the only Kindle available at the moment. If you have never seen a real Kindle, you should see this short film.

Price for the new Kindle

At the moment, there are no rumours about the price tag for the new Kindle. The Kindle sells today for 359 USD which is pretty much for a book without content. If the price would come down remarkably, let us say to around 99 USD the sales might be a lot higher. In that case the profits would of course be made with selling the content at higher prices.

Let us wait and see if the pricing strategy changes and how this will effect the sales.

Kindle's second generation

According to analysts cited by USA Today, Amazon is soon to bring the second generation of Kindle, its own electronic book to the markets. Yesterday Amazon has sent invitations to media representants to its news conference to be held Feb. 9 at New York City's Morgan Library & Museum.

According to rumours, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos should attend the press conference. Unfortunately, no further details have been shared to the press.
