Comments on: Kindle Price Drop… again!!! http://blogkindle.com/2009/10/kindle-price-drop-again/ Daily News about Amazon's new e-book reader Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:27:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: kdsvs http://blogkindle.com/2009/10/kindle-price-drop-again/comment-page-1/#comment-2743 kdsvs Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:50:55 +0000 http://blogkindle.com/?p=2261#comment-2743 I'm a kindle owner (initially supported them with kudos) and as far as I can say....amazon as an ereader device mfg is pretty much over. They will keep dropping the price. Amazon is just not a hardware mfg and does not update the software fast enough (or at all) with really needed features (folders as an example). I love e-readers and yes amazon has content but that is very short lived since odds so many others are joining forces (intentionaly or not) against amazon. Amazon will go back to content only. I don't see them having a choice. Also so far I haven't purchased a single book for my DX from amazon because 9x out of 10 the price for the ebook (even at 9.99) is more then buying the paper back either on Amazon, costco, or other competitors. I understand the need to support wireless and the model...but come on ...$4.00 for the paperback and 9.99 for the e-copy. Sorry convenience isn't worth much. I love you amazon but you are going to have to change to compete.

Cut off seems to be at 30 days... So it looks like there will be no luck gettting $40 from Amazon as price difference between Kindle 2 from August vs one with a price drop.

Doesn't help that Sony has theirs not only at Borders, but now at Best Buy. Ouch. By the way, although I barely comment, I read your blog via RSS all the time; I like what you are doing here, and keep up the great work. You may not get a lot of credit for it, but I appreciate you.
