when 1 e-book is being sold for every 2 p-books,
that is officially "a shitload", michael, i looked it up.        ;+)

and it also means that amazon is selling "lots"
of e-books, and that -- to amazon at least --
e-books are indeed becoming quite "popular".

and yeah, there are many more cell-phones
out there in the world, but i'm not hearing
_nearly_ so many people talk about reading
e-books on their cell-phone as their kindle.

and these days, if i do hear about someone
reading an e-book on their cell-phone, it's
likely to be someone reading a kindle-book
using amazon's kindle-app on their iphone.

i think i made it _extremely_ clear, at the outset,
when i said i've never seen a kindle in the wild...

never.  could that be any more clear?

never seen a sony machine in the wild either...
saw one at a sony booth, at a big book festival,
but never in real use out here in the real world.

but hey, performance poetry is "a niche product"
too, yet i know people making their living off it...
