Considering the cozy relation between Bezos and Obama, I predict that soon, in addition to Obama phones, we’ll have Obama Kindles. For the children don’t you know...
I have a Kindle account and have downloaded books. I like to read them sometimes.
I find myself picking up my ‘real’ books more often. They are easier and more enjoyable to read for me. If I really want a book, I’ll buy the tangible version.
Each has its place.
Why “Obama Kindles”. Think the model of razors and razor blades.
If you want to sell razor blades, sell the razor for a song, you’re making your money on the blades. . .
Likewise: cheap/free e-readers, and sell e-books. . .
