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 Smiley

Thanks for everything, Harvey.

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
