the best thing about the larger-format kindle announced today was that we didn't have to read ten thousand blog entries over the last eight months preannouncing the darn thing. but the stunning thing bezos said was that books for which amazon has a kindle version sell _35%_ of their copies in electronic form... that's up from _10%_ just since _february_, which bezos attributes to kindle2 popularity. that's astounding because there simply aren't too many kindles out there in the wild quite yet. (i still have yet to see one myself, for instance.) yet there is 1 kindle-version sold for every _2_ paper-books sold _if_ there is a kindle-version. so imagine what the ratio will be once there are 10 times as many kindles out there in the world. -bowerbird ************** Remember Mom this Mother's Day!
