Do you really need three Kindles? The commercial below tells us that we do.
I absolutlely have to have Kindle 3G with keyboard because I need a fast way to call up words from my Spanish dictionary. Then there’s the smaller and cheaper version of Kindle that is ideal for travellers who want to save an inch or two of space and carry it in the back pocket (always being careful not to sit down). And of course then there’s the tablet style Kindle Fire which does all the things a tablet can do without the hefty price tag and hefty weight.
So I guess it makes sense. Three Kindles are still cheaper than one iPad and a lot more compact individually.
Kindle is my favourite because I’m a Kindle author and I appreciate the open access Kindle gives to authors, basically allowing anyone to upload stories, novels, how to books and the rest without restriction. Last time I looked Apple was not so liberal with their publishing. And Apple have also upset Seth Godin by not allowing his latest manifesto to be published as an iBook because it contains links to other books as resources, specifically: multiple links to Amazon stores.

From Seth Godin:
I just found out that Apple is rejecting my new manifesto Stop Stealing Dreams and won’t carry it in their store because inside the manifesto are links to buy the books I mention in the bibliography.
Who Decides What Gets Sold in Bookstores?
Not fair. But then what is?
