Kindle at Borders?
I was poking around the "See a Kindle in your city" Discussion board and there was a guy close to my hometown that swears he Bought his kindle at Borders and that they have a display next to the register. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought that 1. You could only purchase the Kindle thru Amazon and b.) Borders only sells the Sony PRS 505? I would hope this guy isn't packing around a Sony thinking it is a Kindle. (And they wonder why people call us dumb rednecks!)
Thanks, JJ |

You are correct on both counts.

Oh dear. I'm guessing he probably is. I wonder if he's tried to buy any books off Amazon.com yet.

Could he be using the word "Kindle" to mean book reader? Could you send the link to the post? I would love a good laugh..........

I see that Ricky has already set him straight on the Kindle site, (Man that is one fast armadillo.)

JJ P.S. I just saw Ricky's other reply on it. She wrote: Just curious if your "Kindle" has a big old "SONY" printed on it. As far as I know the only ebook reader Borders sells is the SONY. So, it is highly unlikely that anyone is going to buy (or see) an actual Kindle at a Borders bookstore. Last edited by jerryleejr; 07-13-2008 at 02:26 PM. |
