There's no doubt that one limiting factor for the Kindle is that the vast majority of buyers cannot see or hold one before buying it.

I suppose they must have a cryptic clause in the contract somewhere about doing this, but it is still horrible. <br /><br />Probably going to cost Amazon dearly...Ali Hasanainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576068637181960016noreply@blogger.com
