 Send to email | Found! A Real Amazon Kindle User (AMZN) in AMZN |  By Silicon
el 19-Jun-2008 | Imagine our delight when we got on the subway, sat down, and saw a person reading an Amazon Kindle -- right in front of us! -- for the first time since it launched last November.
Meet Baratunde Thurston, comedian, blogger, Web editor for The Onion and big fan of his brand new Kindle. He says he bought it last week because of Amazon's recent price cut -- and has been having a great time reading books and blogs on it. He's even posted a Kindle action shot to Flickr.
Meanwhile, if you're interested in buying a Kindle but don't want to pay the full $359 list price from Amazon (AMZN), a tipster suggests you make sure to check out eBay, where new machines are supposedly going for as little as $299.

| Amazon: Don't Even Think About Buying A Kindle (Please Buy a Kindle!) | | The saga of the Kindle, the product so popular that nobody has one, continues. Jeff Bezos has turned Amazon.com's home page into an apology/ad for the device.
Amazon (AMZN) had no idea anybody would want one of its e-readers, Jeff says (perhaps this is why the company got itself a Newsweek cover story to announce the launch) and they sold out immediately. There's still a long wait to get [..] Read complete article | | Published 20-Mar-2008 by Silicon in AMZN
