Very true.
Just happened to run into the district manager for my local Best Buy, I guess on one of his inspection tours of local stores.
I was in the store playing with the Sony ereaders on display and he noticed, struck up a conversation about them (apparently he's a fan of dedicated devices as well.)
Might be old news, but Best Buy's looking at getting in to e-readers in a bigger way. Said they have a couple more models from other manufacturers they're planning to bring in to stores before Christmas.
Most surprising comment was an off-hand remark that Best Buy corporate is in conversations with Amazon about possibly bringing the Kindles in to stores.
If it happened, it'd solve one of my problems with buying a Kindle -- the not getting my hands on it first. Of course, I'd still have a problem with Amazon's taking the lion's share of profits on newspaper subscriptions and related lack of a Dallas Morning News subscription, so....
