Crunchgear is noting what a very small room this is for the press conference...

Good Morning Everyone! I'm not often awake at 6:55 PST; my husband was NOT surprised that I asked him to wake me up for an Amazon press conference that is 99% going to be about Kindles  Thanks for everything, Harvey.

I'm supposed to ship something work-related via UPS today, and I was about to head out the door, but it can wait. LOL The conference trumps any UPS dropoff.  That room reminds me of my college Physics class...

I just checked Amazon and they're still showing Kindle first-generation. Expect that to change pretty soon...

Sorry for the server errors, we are being hammered by traffic this morning... we're also ranking high on Google for 'amazon press conference' and keywords like that.

d*mn, "More than 10% of the units we sell are Kindle book sales -- that's astonishing. So what happened? 230,000 things happened, and that's Kindle books. Even the best device without selection is useless."
That is more then I would have thought
