@Tom, unfortunately we do not gave a source other than Amazon. On the other hand, this was a prepared slide at a public press conference, so that it seems unlikely (and very risky) for Jeff Bezos to misrepresent this in any way. It’s also consistent with some trend data we’d obtained, that said ~13% in February and ~25% by mid-year.

I find the 35% Kindle to be highly suspect; do you have a source other than Amazon?

Kenyon, I agree about the Kindle – I was skeptical until I played with one. The user experience is actually very good, and the savings adds up quickly if you read a lot.

I have been very skeptical about the Kindle, until my colleague got one. He bought it just to read the New York Times everyday. In Boulder it costs $7-9 for a copy of the NYT Sunday – so the investment in the Kindle will pay for itself in about six months – WITH JUST THE NEWSPAPER!!!
