Forget chocolate or diamonds, today Amazon introduced Kindle II.
I’ve always heard market researchers like to read. It’s one of those stereotypes that seem to fit the profession. You just assume it’s correct that because of our curious nature we like to read and play trivia games.
Perhaps that’s why when I first heard of Kindle, I was very interested. A book that I could take anywhere, even the airport or to the beach in a different country, and download books from Amazon on the fly. The original price was around $400 though so I investigated usability comments on the web and some were complaining about bulkiness etc. so I decided to hold off.
Today Amazon introduced the Kindle II for $359which is far sleeker than the original. Kindle I is now selling for $258, but who the hell would want that now.
NEW KINDLE
OLD KINDLE
If you order it today you’ll be stimulating the economy and you should get it by Saturday!

I’m always amazed at how technology just changes so quickly and drastically.
That sounds like a great idea, but I think we’ll have to “stimulate” the economy a little later down the road.
Hope my better half knows about this or I’ll have to give some hints.
