Kindle Books Outselling Hardcover Books. “Tipping Point” Reached, Amazon Says:

“Amazon’s Kindle eReader has long been a great device. Unfortunately, for much of its life, it has been far too expensive. And now with Apple’s iPad out there, it seems a bit too, well, monochrome. But Amazon did a smart thing recently, they slashed the price of the device, down to $189. As a result, growth is accelerating once again, Amazon says.”

Very amazing.  Sell your product for less and you sell more!  I didn’t know that.  When you sell more devices, then people will want to buy more media to fill that device.  Amazon thought they were Apple.  their device is good, but nowhere near the level of the iPad.  It’s just an eReader, and a black and white one at that.  Good for Amazon that they finally understand the chicken and egg part of their business.
