Alisa, I think probably after Christmas, as long as Amazon can produce enough screens to satisfy a very large international demand, I am sure the Kindle will be available at $1 with a 24-month $19 subscription to the Kindle Store. Where those $19 have to be spent during the month and cannot be transferable to the next month. It's just like the way telecoms subsidize the mobile phones exactly in the same way.

If it's not going to be $1 Kindle from day one, then probably something like $99 upfront payment + 24-month $20 content subscription, or something like that.
