Lessons From Kindle's Success

Ease of use, and yes, people do still read
Will Amazon founder Jeff Bezos feel victim to the temptation to believe that the Kindle is the only right answer and refuse to offer e-books for other devices? I think that when it comes to the size and shape of devices, we are moving into an era where there will be many more choices that will increasingly be based on personal taste. People choose writing pads of all sorts, from big yellow legal pads to those little bound notebooks with graph paper. In the same way, we are going to have very personal choices about what sort of connected computer we want to use for communicating, reading, working and so on.
