Still in Target? It looks like they blew through the Kindle 2 … and Kindle 3 is not shown as for sale there (searching target.com that is).
However — between the 1500 Staples and 1700 target stores … that’s a distribution network of 3,000 stores. It also suggests that the Kindle 3 is NOT being subsidized at current retail prices as some were claiming. Wholesale to Amazon is probably no more than 50% of retail.
And if they are doing this volume — no wonder no other vendor has yet formally announced a unit featuring the very much improved Pearl e-ink screens. Amazon must have taken all supplies for an initial period.
