Oprah Winfrey endorsed Amazon’s Kindle e-book on her TV show last week. The Kindle blog has details of the effect on sales and online traffic. In short, it was immediate and amazing! Book publishers and retailers have no choice but to wholeheartedly embrace the Kindle and other devices. Oprah has spoken. Newsagents need to take notice too – the Kindle has good offers for newspaper and magazine subscriptions.
While not available in Australia yet, the Kindle will come.
Please e-mail me when the Kindle is available in Australia.
Thank you.
There is no need to wait for the Kindle, the Cybook ebook reader is better. It holds 1000 books, has other advantages. It is available in Australia now (I have one). Yes, you import it from France or USA. Check out the comparison of ebook readers on Wiki. The Cybook reader has the same books available as the Kindle (they are the same ebooks, format).
