Amazon Adding Kindle Content in Leaps and Bounds

Wow.. I am absolutely astounded at the rate Amazon is adding content. I search for Martin Buber a few weeks ago when I first got my Kindle and there was one book about him, by another author.

Now there is something like 6 books! Now, that doesn't sound a lot until you think about what an obscure set of books you're looking at here. Most people don't even know who Buber is, so this is really saying something.

"Jewish Bible" which previously produced one very bad text, now has multiple pages of content (unfortunately, none of which a good edition of the Hebrew Bible).

So Amazon is adding a lot of their more obscure content as well as best sellers. As I don't read much in the way of fiction I'm finding this to be just fantastic (and most the prices are great... though there is the occasional academic publisher that needs to pull its head out of its... er.. yes.)
