Bezos and the Booksellers

By PvD3

Key graf from this AP story:

Bezos continued his advocacy of the Kindle e-book reader, billed as “revolutionary” by the retailer, although at this point more as a concept than as a way of life. His talk disappointed many attendees, who had hoped that he would announce some major news, but it did continue the ongoing discussion of the e-future.

Book sellers are dying and the proposed solution from the biggest player seems to be to hand them an anchor.  The Kindle: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device is not being well received.  I haven’t picked one up yet to try it but I must admit that I like the feel of a book, the sound of the pages turning and textures to the type.  Don’t think that the Kindle will deliver that.  We’ll see.
