Comment on Amazon’s Kindle 2 Will Debut Feb. 9

Comments

I always imagined this thing similar to consoles - you sell it at break-even (or even at a loss) to encourage the purches of books over its service.

Lord knows that if all it took was a quick bit of navigation on the Kindle itself to buy any book at Amazon, I'd have a full Kindle and an empty wallet.

that is actually exactly how the kindle works. not any book, but many books.

Except the Kindle's entry price is still quite high (at least for me).
