Hmm. Doesn't look good for the new Kindle in my opinion. At first glance, 25% of a population is quite a significant number but then when you consider that almost everyone who is a Mobileread.com member is an inveterate ebook reader it's not nearly so impressive. If only 25% of the hardest of the hardcore want it then what percentage of the general public would be willing to pony up $300 for a black and white screen that only does one thing really well?
