Seattle is a very bookish and techie city but Kindles are very common here, meaning I've seen a half dozen on the streets and when I mention a Kindle to friends I often get the response "Oh -- I've got one too!"
Actually, the entire number of Kindles sold worldwide is JUST BARELY ENOUGH for every person in Seattle to have one. . . . Not what _I_ would call a "popular" eBook reader, as the media says. mh
Personally I read probably 20 PG books on Kindle, and 100 technical papers, for each book I buy from Bezos -- but I still buy from Amazon. The DX will be a huge win for me because I can read PDF technical documents directly on the DX without having to format convert them nor print them out.
I would think the DX will be very popular with college professors who want their students to purchase that professor's texts.
Anyone tracking percent book downloads from PG in Mobi vs. EPUB vs. non-Ebook formats?
