I have to respectfully disagree, John. With EDGE you can get a data rate of 200-300kbits, which is plenty enough for downloading books. 200kbit/sec is approximately 20kbytes/sec, which will download a 300kb book (a typical size) in 15 seconds. Nobody is in such a hurry, I'm sure, that they'd worry about whether it takes 5sec or 15sec to download a book.

This means that if they only capture the North American market, then so be it. I'm sure that they ran numerous models and projections on what would make the Kindle a success in their eyes and felt that this would work. |
