Have you heard! The Amazon Kindle is Oprah’s new favorite gadget! Now maybe the naysayers will believe us when we say that the Kindle is here to stay. Last Friday (October 24th) Oprah Winfrey gave a Kindle to everyone in her audience. This is quite an endorsement for this e-book reader.
In the last few months, the price of the Kindle dropped from the initial $399 to $359, and now (thanks to Oprah) there is another $50 dollars off with the coupon code “OPRAHWINFREY”. http://kindle.oprahshow.tv/kindle/?crypt=c253cWdlPGNucHRYRXtv&raw_source=kindle&kw=kindle&clicktype=lpclick&se=GG-US. But this code is only good until November 1st. So you can purchase a Kindle for only $309. That’s $90 less than then just 11 months ago when the first Kindle was released.
Oprah has also posted a “how-to” video of Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos teaching her audience how to use the Kindle. You can find it at: http://www.oprah.com/media/20081024_tows_kindle. It is only about 5 ½ minutes long – but it tells you all you need to know about the Kindle to get started.
It will be interesting to see if Oprah’s endorsement increases the sales of the Kindle. And in the long run, also the number of Kindle books offered should increase. Let’s hope!

Great post as for me. It would be great to read a bit more concerning this theme. The only thing it would also be great to see here is a few photos of some gizmos.
