Glad you liked the article though. I did want to point out (and probably should do so in the article) that the odds listed are for entertainment purposes only. I thought that tapping into something numerical would provide a bit of levity.
Personally, I think that Amazon will likely put a squeeze onto the iPhone market, and that they're are attempting to brand the Kindle as the iPod or Walkman of eBooks. When that happens, I'll be pulling for Smashwords to come out with the emotional successor to Stanza.
