Amazon’s e-book

The dream is slowly turning to reality.

  • I think it's inevitable. Kindle like devices will be common place in a decade or two. Technology will evolve, but getting content will be a problem if the print industry is in a constant state of denial like the music and movie industries.
  • one order off - its $100 for ONE Newspaper. Then say you would like TWO newspaper (general + biz).

    4 Magazines? - $100 for each.
    Then 2 books a month. $20 / book. can have a buffer concept.

    i.e per year.

    Newspapers {2} - $200
    Magazines {4} - $400
    Books {20} - $400

    With content in place. I think they might as well open the APIs and charge for content. Forget the Hardware aspect of things. I think they are greedy. ;P

    Shouldn't be surprised if we see Google / Apple come out with a partnership with Amazon. Android platform - iPhone ...
  • I think this is a big market! Just pay $500 upfront and get 3 years of free newspaper, magazines and whatever books. Also a SD slot + music + video play to carry media and a sim card slot => I think i would buy it even for $1000!

    Newspaper bill - Rs 3 * 365 * 3 = Rs.3600 ($900!)

    Can after three years - I anyway want to upgrade my hardware and software!
