How Much Is That Kindle in The Window?



Yep I am gadgeted for real
A Kindle Fire came yesterday
And now my thumb prints are all over its pristine surface
I did manage to wireless enable and register
It is now Steve's Kindle2
But it will be a work of some skill to master it
I tried reading my Herodotus and lost my place 
But it did enable me to get my books from my initial Kindle
I feel like one of those NYT reviewers inundated with gadgets
The Fire is clearly a work in progress
In about a year it will probably function so a reasonably intuitive soul 
will not besmirch it with thumbprints

Why Amazon and Facebook and Google Rule

It's really simple and it reflects a clear decision. Be truly global. Connect to everything. Make things easy to do not harder to do. Be preeminent in the one thing you do. Extend your social capacities everywhere that will let them roost. How many businesses have had wild and wonderful dreams and simply ignored the steps needed to create universal reach. I bought a netbook yesterday locally and when it came time to pay I did it through - oops, not the place I was - but through Amazon. I would say Amazon and Facebook are tied for the lead in reach and creating shortcuts and usability and that Google is sort of there by default but teetering. And when you look at them all they cannot be but partway yet. And there is room for more and better.
