That makes more sense then. I figured they were just saying it was, because you know there are people who would buy it just because it was the top gadget, as well as it helps promote it. However, if they're subdividing by color, then it makes it more plausible to me that it could be number one. Especially if the same thing is there three times in the top ten, then the Kindle probably wouldn't even make the list if you did it the other way.

I've never seen a Kindle in real life either...or any other person with any type of e-reader. Then again I was living in a 50,000 person town in Oregon and now I'm in South Korea, so that probably helps. I get some good stares on the subway here when I whip it out though, especially since we can't communicate and all.
