Oh, a few little tidbits from the presentation:

First, apparently this subsidizing deal with newspapers is only for people who live where you can't get regular paper delivery. That limitation seems a little silly to me.

Second, Jeff Bezos made a startling (to me) claim: On Amazon, many of their books are availble both in paper and as e-books for the Kindle. Bezos said that in April, looking at just those books, e-book sales accounted for more than 33% of their total sales. That is, for books that are available in both forms, one e-book was sold for every two paper books.
