The price drop from $ 489 to $ 379 (with the Kindle DX 2) and the new
eInk Pearl screen led to a tripling of
sales (which are probably still low) and the Kindle DX WiFi would appeal to far more
readers.
There are some good reasons for Amazon to stay focused on the Kindle — The Kindle Tablet can't hit the $ 100 or even the $ 200 mark, hardcore
readers want dedicated eReaders, LCD can't touch
eInk when it comes to battery life or readability, 80 % of book
sales are to 20 % of the people buying books and those people want dedicated reading devices.
