This has been a long and interesting thread. A good heated debate. So allow me to pour a little fuel on the fire...
I was reading in a forum today about a woman waiting to buy a Kindle online from Amazon. It was a Kindle 2 selling for US$99-00. At the crucial moment she had to go for a pee, guess that excitement peaked at just the wrong moment, because in the three minutes that she was opening the valve to relieve the pressure, all of the Kindles were sold. At ninety-nine dollars a pop.
How many Kindles were there? I don't know, Amazon doesn't usually share that information, and they won't show up on Bookscan either. Now I believe the price of $30-00 or more has been mentioned a few times in relation to hardcovers. So a Kindle equals in price alone three hardcovers.
Now do you care?
