Wired has a nice bit of scratch math on the potential sales number of kindles and some logic to justify the scratch math. I like it! Pretty good conjecture on the behavior that might drive someone to own a kindle.
“So the Kindle’s target buyer would be a person who reads so much that they have ceased instilling books and periodicals with nostalgic value…yet not so much that they are rarely far enough from a computer to really need a separate device.”
i.e. Not a very big market???????
I own one and I’m not sure I fit the above description but…. there are certain books and periodicals where I just need the data. A no, owning a kindle has not slowed by physical book buying or reading at all.
