Market analysis website Seeking Alpha has posted an article on what appears to be the failure of Amazon’s “revolutionary” e-book reading device, the Kindle. Aside from the price, one of the reasons why I haven’t purchased one is because I would have like to seen one in person first but no one I know owns one and the following excerpt from the article confirms my theory. (via Apple Grapevine)

“It is very obvious that Amazon’s Kindle is a huge flop. In six months of traveling, I am yet to see a single person on any bus, train or plane with a Kindle in their hands. Contrast that with the iPod or iPhone or even the Sansa, where people can actually be seen using them everywhere.”
