Why Buy A Kindle
Here is a great quote by "Ed" in response to an article on ebookmagazine.co.uk
Kindle targets book readers, people who wish to read for hours on end without suffering from eye strain caused by backlit displays. The Kindle is made exclusively for reading, period, it doesn´t attempt to be a tablet PC. Tablet PCs with their multifunctionality provide too many distractions when reading, that´s why Kindle has found a very nice niche market, which has millions of potential clients.
Furthermore, the Tablet PC market will become saturated in 2011. B&N have foolishly dropped the e-ink platform and ventured into the Tablet PC market, now they will compete with Apple, RIM, HP, Dell, etc. Good luck with that. And even though Amazon will not venture into the Tablet PC market, they benefit from the growth of that industry by allowing those users to read Kindle books. Brilliant!
Very insightful. I think you have it right in the Kindle finding a niche market. Thanks!
