Certainly a Kindle can get a virus but has anyone heard of this occuring? I do not beleive that virus writing has gotten that far. Also due to the popularity the Kindle can become a victim of its own scucess. If I am a virus writer and I am going to target electronic book readers which one am I going to target? A Kobo? Probably not since I proably have never heard of one and even if I have it doesn;t have enough market share to make it worth my while. I am most likely going to attack a Kindle since its got a large market share, a biger payload. There has been some attacks on blackberries for the same reason and I am hearing of a few attacks on Android phones and most certainly I am hearing of a lot of attacks on iphones, becuase they are apple.
