My gosh - she was so over the top! You'd think the thing cured AIDs and cancer and brought everlasting peace to the universe. Was she channeling Tom Cruise? Was she getting paid? Or is she always this so over enthusiastic?

And her audience - they each got a free kindle - cheering, screaming, and one was even CRYING WITH JOY!

And not a word about how it is a late comer in the ebook reader world, or how the wireless download only works in the US.

Bizarre! And please don't tell me how wonderful a kindle is smeared with marmite and sprinkled with popcorn...
She endorsed the Rocket Ebook when it came out as well. Gave everyone in her audience one. So at least she still sees the benefit of ebooks.
