Maybe we need a new poll, something like:
Kindle is mostly for:
Women
Men
Readers: gender doesn't matter.
I had some trouble answering the original poll; my first reaction was "well of course it's for women (too); it's not like you need a body part women don't have in order to press the buttons." My second reaction was, "oh, you mean, is it meant for women and not men. Of course not; it's meant for people who read."
As for romance books being available; I don't think that proves anything about gender ratio in Kindle usage. For one thing, I have at least one male friend who has a whole wall full of romance books. For another, a lack of romance books might show they were not paying attention to women as a market sector. But the mere fact that they *are* paying attention to women doesn't mean they're excluding men in any way. It's not an either-or proposition.
