The Kindle is cool, no doubt, but it is revolutionary? I don’t think so. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised to see another hardware company come out with something much sleeker. Apple didn’t invent the portable music player, they just refined it. The eReader will continue to e refined. But you’re right, it plays to a different audience- and I feel- a much smaller one. $10 for an eBook seems high. What about a subscription model? Or a rental model? $2 per book for 2 weeks or something. I know I don’t go back and read books a second time, but some people do. I think various pricing models and rental vs. purchasing will also evolve with the refined hardware.
